Because if food was still blockaded, then it wasn't one. So was food blockaded?

disengagement means mandatory humanitarian aid?

Was food prevented from entering Gaza during the "disengagement"?

why are you still putting "disengagement" in quotes? if south korea prevents food from entering north korea, does that mean according to you south korea is currently "engaged" in north korea?

Yes? A blockade is a recognized form of military action, i.e. military engagement.

Now answer the damn question. Was food prevented from entering Gaza during the "disengagement"?

in both cases the countries border with other countries and one country doing whatever it wants with its own borders does not constitute a blockade.

now answer the damn question: didn't they do that in south lebanon and then quickly rockets appear near the border and nearby towns get evacuated semi daily and didn't the same happen during gaza disengagement?
