A floating pier and causeway that will be used to deliver critical humanitarian aid by sea to Gaza is expected to take at least one month or possibly as long as two for the US military to build and become fully operational, Pentagon Press Secretary Major General Patrick Ryder said on Friday.
Food really isn’t something one needs that quickly unless you’ve got no fat on your body. I remember reading a paper about an obese guy who (voluntarily) fasted under care of a doctor for over a year. Took vitamins, but other than that, just water.
Water, on the other hand, is really important. No water, you’re dead inside a week, maybe a little longer.
But these people are not obese. They’re already starving to death.

And that’s from nearly three weeks ago.
You mean the water Israel has controlled, destroyed and extorted since they started the occupation in 1967? They’ve also irreparably contaminated ground water, bombed water infrastructure, and shut off the pipes from access to the water they take from Gaza.
Gazans are already chronically malnourished, though, not obese. And some parts of Gaza have been under occupation for months. Babies are already dying and soon children, then adults will follow.
Children have already started dying, too. For example, Yazan Kafarneh: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-hamas-war-children-starving-famine-warning-death-destruction-rcna141813
