Those 500 trucks included other stuff besides food. Things like concrete (for tunnels) and water pipes (for mortars). Nowadays (as in the last few months) a minimum of 250 FOOD trucks enter Gaza daily. Sometimes as high as 350.

Sometimes as high as 350. Current estimates are that 1000-1500 trucks a day are needed due to both the backlog of lack of food and the destruction of Gaza internal food production.

    Me too, I would like to see the evidence, but alas the occupying power does not allow free press to be on the Gaza strip. I would just remind you that there is not just a famine, but a brutal genocide too, and Communications itself is under attack. Please give some leniency to the people who are bombed to the ground, killed and maimed, and using web trees to connect to the World, for not showing enough evidence of famine. Although I wonder how much of an evidence would be needed to make us all believe there is a famine. But , surely more than the evidence to believe that this is an act of defence by the occupying power is needed.

  You cant just inflate numbers at will to suit your narrative. Current estimates are in fact only 500 trucks a day needed. This is directly from the UN.
