See, usually when we have barricade, war situation, everything is rationed and people who can fight are given priority, atleast in middle ages. If the citizens left, or died Uther would not have a kingdom to protect.

...That being said, providing no food for common citizens etc do sound cruel based on humanitarian values of todays world. But we are talking abour brute and unforgiving middle ages. The fact that no food was given wasn't cruel, it was necessary. What Morgana did was crazy; she shouldn't have given children and women food! It was being sorted out. If Uther wants a kingdom to govern, he needed to crack down on the important things harsher than before.
