How many people died from the Berlin blockade?
As I understand it nobody died due to the Soviet blockade of Berlin. The US Air Force began flying in supplies long before that would have become an issue.

What is an airlift?
It's when people use airplanes to carry people or supplies somewhere. In the context of Germany and the Cold War, it was when, in 1948-1949, the Soviets blockaded West Berlin in an attempt to starve the people into surrendering and joining them. The USA, UK and some Commonwealth countries conducted the "Berlin Airlift", where they used airplanes to bring supplies to West Berlin- thereby thwarting the Soviet effort.
How did the policy of containment contribute to the Berlin Blockade?
We gave food and supplies to West (west, or east, i think its west) Berlin. Since Germany banned us from going in and driving supplies to them, we decided to get creative and start airlifting the supplies to them. This was of course, to keep W. Berlin from falling to Communism, which the other half of Germany was. Oh yeah, and the Berlin wall was put up, so people could not go to the W. Berlin area (coming from E. Berlin), however you could go to E. Berlin (coming from W. Berlin).
