Title putting the emphasis on everything is ok now, however the influx of aid is false.

Is that what an influx of aid for 2 months looks like?
There is no longer famine in Gaza, a United Nations-backed hunger monitor announced on Friday, after an influx of humanitarian aid into the strip following a ceasefire agreed in October between Israel and Hamas.
“Following a significant reduction in conflict, a proposed peace plan, and improved access for both humanitarian and commercial food deliveries, food security conditions have improved in the Gaza Strip,” the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) said. “No areas are classified in Famine,” it added.
The global watchdog had said in August that parts of Gaza are officially experiencing a “man-made” famine.
Then some caveat
The organization noted, however, that despite these improvements, most of Gaza’s population faced high levels of acute food insecurity.
“Although humanitarian assistance, including food aid, has increased, only basic survival needs are being met,” the IPC said.
So not an influx of aid?
Still a risk of famine
While Gaza’s classification has changed, the IPC warned that the risk of the enclave falling back into famine remains.
“Under a worst-case scenario involving renewed hostilities and a halt in humanitarian and commercial inflows, North Gaza, Gaza Governorate, Deir al-Balah, and Khan Younis would face a risk of Famine through mid-April 2026,” it said.
Thus still on the brink of famine?
Israel in August heavily disputed that there was famine in Gaza, saying it was doing all it could to allow aid into the strip.
In response to Friday’s IPC report, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, said: “In the face of the facts, even the IPC is forced to admit. There is no famine in Gaza,” adding that there are “hundreds” of aid trucks entering the strip every day.
The Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the Israeli agency tasked with facilitating aid distribution in Gaza, said that between 600-800 aid trucks enter the Gaza Strip every day, approximately 70% of which carry food.
Blindly posting Israeli talking points without fact checking with the only caveat
Hamas has previously disputed figures from COGAT, saying that not enough aid is making it into the enclave.
It's not just Hamas disputing these figures, it's also the UN, UNWRA, OCHA, WFP, and other humanitarian organizations.
Heck it's even Israel itself that's disputing their own claims...

However, Israel's own figures suggest that an average of only 459 trucks a day have entered the Gaza Strip between Oct. 12, when the flow of the aid restarted, and Sunday, according to an AP analysis. COGAT, the Israeli military body in charge of co-ordinating aid entry, provided the figures.
And those have been disputed as well with only avg 120 trucks actually reaching their destinations in Gaza according to the UN.
One silver lining, it is double that as before the so called 'ceasefire' where only 60 trucks a day went in. Yet malnutrition and acute hunger are still a huge man made threat in Gaza.
