From my link, as you quoted, the Red Cross lists 1500 as the floor. Just like I stated. It's considered bad but the acceptable floor for disasters in the USA. 1500. Not great, but the floor to ensure is being met.
I see all this talk and am trying to understand what is going on. The only actual numbers I have seen are the CNN 1400 in one area at one point in time, so I tried to compare that to what could happen in the USA. My quest to understand started last week when people said Israel needed to behave like the USA in occupied Germany, that is the norm to be followed. When I looked up the numbers and pointed out Israel was, people said 'no, not like that'.
Israel targets 3200, above Allied occupied Germany. In some areas for some lengths of time actual consumption dropped to 1400, bellow but not that far from the Red Cross published floor in emergencies.
Looking at other war areas, Kenya has 800,000 war refugees that the UN just cut down to 552 calories a day, even though the UN claims they have enough food on hand to feed Gaza's 2 million, but aren't allowed to give out. The UN stated they have the food (but only for Gaza), and provide much less food in Kenya than Israel in Gaza (even though the UN says they have food for 2 million).
It's all horrific and awful that the government of Gaza chose to initiate a hot war, and that the people in Gaza are suffering because of their governments killing of over 1000, injuring/maining/raping/torturing of thousands more, and kidnapping of so many (including the apparently 6 year old girl that Gaza's government broadcast video to the internet of themselves kidnapping from her home). But from the numbers I can find it's not that far outside of norms, especially for an active armed conflict.
