Israel's COGAT published a humanitarian status report on Monday where it describes the real situation in Gaza. (It is unfortunately not online.)
Excerpts:
Hamas possesses fuel reserves, and it is continuing to take control of private fuel reserves as well. The Hamas fuel reserves are variously located around the Gaza Strip, and Hamas is controlling the supply of fuel to hospitals and other vital facilities according to its own interests in a way that creates pressure on the international discourse and leads the public to believe that the Gaza Strip has insufficient fuel.
With Hamas in control of fuel, the water, sewage, and hospital systems are all directly affected.
Energy
The vital facilities of the Gaza Strip depend on the fuel depots controlled by Hamas, which supplies a limited quantity every few days.
There is local energy production based on solar farms and on generators powered by private fuel reserves.
All the vital facilities — hospitals, desalination plants, wells, and the like — have alternative energy sources.
Operations are adjusting their activities in order to preserve energy.
Food
Food reserves are sufficient for the near term. There is no food shortage.
International organizations are permitted to bring food aid into the Gaza Strip.
There is hoarding of food — purchasing at the groceries and hoarding by private parties.
Eight major bakeries operate in the southern Gaza Strip. During the past 24 hours, hundreds of tons of flour have been brought to the Gaza Strip's bakeries.
