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.

This also means that the embarrassing US floating pier brings in approximately nothing compared to the land crossings.

Those were both banned. The trucks were mainly food.

Also, the story was that they built rockets out of the pipes. In reality, they were remanufactured arms out of Israeli duds. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/world/middleeast/israel-h...

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.

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.
