There's no logic behind making half a city starve just so you can be sure those 40 civilians in boats don't happen to maybe possibly have an accident.
The reason why Guiliani and his crew ended up being called heros (for just doing their jobs really) is because they had the good sense to look the other way and let people get in there in help. They didn't stop steel workers and make sure they were accredited, union, American citizens.....
