This is how I see it. If God created man with self will and as a result children starve, then he is letting it happen. He knows everything right? So when he created us with self will, he knew we'd turn our backs on the starving children. In essence, he created the entire situation with full knowledge. That is the definition of letting it happen.

If you free your mind and look at religion objectively, none of them make sense. Western religions are especially psychotic in their contradictions, but that is always explained by "we can't understand why". No doubt. If you can't understand why, maybe it's because it makes no sense. Believing in things that make no sense requires a blindness of the mind. JMHO
