Article assumes every single person in Gaza needs aid of 3 meals per day, i.e. are 100% aid dependant

I’m not sure that’s true but it might end up that way if Israel continues as it is

It is true.

Israel has enacted a total blockade on Gaza. Even before the full blown genocide Israel already starved Gaza for years by limiting calories allowed to enter.

Israel is killing fishermen off the coast of Gaza and systematically destroyed agriculture in Gaza since 2023.

The point you refer to has been reached about two month ago. This is why now people drop in the streets from starvation.

They do grow food, only last week I saw street stalls with fresh produce getting destroyed by the IDF

Short answer, it can’t get to the palestinians because of the Israeli embargo assisted by US forces. They are gunning them down in line for food, not handing it out to those in need. Genocides tend to not care about the genocidees, not sure y’all are aware of this?!
