You have a country full of starving people, an active war, and trucks full of food guarded by soldiers of the opposing force. You also have the UN, a somewhat independent organization that's supposed to help resolve the conflict, and they're saying Israel is intentionally restricting Gaza's food supply.
Understanding this context, seeing all the threads, and there's really not much to untangle. If anything, this was entirely predictable. Nobody should be surprised that starvation was enough to provoke a violent conflict between Palestinians and the IDF.
I believe the news media is here to provide clarity, not add to confusion. The problem is that when things are a tangled mess, the media has a lot more to report on. Truth is cut and dry, but when there's a mystery you can just keep going on and on and on... I still remember all the news about OJ Simpson, so much to report and so few facts!
