There is not currently a total blockade of all food in Gaza. Afaik, the latest UN statement on Gaza was that there is high risk of famnine, but there is insufficient evidence to conclude one has happened yet. https://www.ipcinfo.org/fileadmin/user_upload/ipcinfo/docs/IPC_Famine_Review_Committee_Report_Gaza_June2024.pdf https://www.ipcinfo.org/fileadmin/user_upload/ipcinfo/docs/I...

There was a total blockade of all food. They waited until the stockpiles were down to zero and people started dying, then they let more food in. Be wary of "insufficient evidence", because there are few people on the ground to collect evidence. The total number of deaths has been fixed at "about 40,000" since about March, because the institution that was counting the deaths got destroyed and never released a new count.
