"Escalating Tensions in Gaza: Ceasefire Talks Collapse Ahead of Ramadan"

Ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel have failed, with Hamas demanding a halt to Israeli offensive and release of prisoners in exchange for the release of hostages, a demand rejected by Israel. The U.S., Qatar, and Egypt have been mediating the negotiations, but skepticism remains about Hamas's commitment to reaching an agreement. As the conflict persists, the UN warns of threats to children's health in Gaza, with at least 10 children reported to have died due to dehydration and malnutrition.
