UN says no food has entered northern Gaza since start of October, putting 1 million people at risk of starvation

CNN: On Wednesday, the WFP said in a report that the aid entering the strip has plummeted to its lowest level in months, forcing the organization to stop the distribution of food parcels in October.

“Hunger remains rampant and the threat of famine persists,” WFP added. “If the flow of assistance does not resume, one million vulnerable people will be deprived on this lifeline.”

Meanwhile, two of central Gaza’s main bakeries have been shut down for three days, according to CNN footage and bakery workers.

Al-Banna Bakery and Zadna Bakery in Deir al-Balah, both supported by the WFP, have halted operations due to a lack of flour and fuel, bakery workers and residents told CNN.

This is 1 million people. Is it genocide yet?

4. Food is entering SOUTH Gaza, then?

The article cites 2 reasons for lack of deliveries in N. Gaza, but isn't particularly informative as to why:

1. Military operations have resumed in N. Gaza.
2.

In August, approximately 700 hundred aid trucks entered northern Gaza. In September, only 400 aid trucks entered, after commercial operations ceased at the Allenby Crossing on the border between the occupied West Bank and Jordan, the WFP added. No food trucks have entered northern Gaza in October, the WFP told CNN.

I gather that much of the food that comes through Israel into N Gaza comes from Jordan. I don't understand why "operations ceased at the Allenby Crossing". There's also aid from the US that's not being allowed in, but I don't know where that enters Israel.

5. My understanding is north Gaza is completely shut off from the south.

6. Article says that N Gazans are afraid to travel south, not that it's shut off:

The military has issued fresh evacuation orders for residents in northern Gaza, adding it had expanded the scope of the “humanitarian area” in Al-Mawasi in the south. But some residents have told CNN they are wary of attempting to leave besieged parts of northern Gaza, citing numerous Israeli attacks targeting Hamas militants in Israeli-designated “safe zones.”

Not saying you're wrong, just that the article says something different.
