And even then...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/white-house-gaza-humanitarian-aid-b2569354.html

The humanitarian situation, especially in the north, is heartbreaking and outrageous. No aid for over 2 weeks, not one truck allowed in while Israel was conducting it's renewed aerial and ground assaults.

It's only since the stern letter from the US. a few days ago threatening consequences that Israel allowed 30 trucks in the next day. The letter stated at least 10 times that amount should go in every day. Hope it's picked up now. I can't imagine not eating for over 2 weeks, can you?
