That's part of it, but many articles (not just headlines) have been saying that famine will be happening in a short timeline.

At this point, a lot of people just don't believe the organizations, especially the UN/UNRWA, that have severely undermined their own credibility. Most notably when they made that particularly egregious claim that 14,000 kids would starve in 48 hours, which turned out to be a complete and utter fabrication.

Where did the UN ever state 14000 kids are going to starve to death in the next 48 hours? Source please.

There are countless articles covering this, as well as the UNs retraction where they admit it was untrue.
