That is incorrect as well. Israel lied about opening a corridor

A border crossing from Israel into northern Gaza remains closed a week after Israel promised to open it for deliveries of aid, as a top US official warned that famine has begun.

And forced trucks to split their loads in half to double count them

Israel said 419 trucks entered Gaza on Monday, while UNRWA said only 223 trucks had come. OCHA says the Israeli count is for the half-full trucks that enter the Strip, while the UN count is of the new convoy of re-loaded, full trucks that then complete the delivery.

“Trucks that go in, screened by COGAT, are typically only half-full. That is a requirement that they have put in place for screening purposes. When we count the trucks on the other side, when they have been reloaded, they are full,” he said.

So aside from israel faking numbers not much has changed. The famine has officially started.

Aid ‘still not reaching Gaza’, as top US official warns famine has started

A key port has not been opened to aid shipments, and a new crossing into northern Gaza has officially opened but UN agencies are not yet allowed to use it, even though they provide the vast majority of food aid for the territory.
