Ceasefire Talks Collapse: Humanitarian Crisis Worsens in Gaza
Talks to stop the fighting between Israel and Hamas failed.
The US and Israel say Hamas didn't want a deal, while Hamas says it did.
Israel is considering other ways to bring hostages home and the US has withdrawn from negotiations.
Meanwhile, people in Gaza are suffering, with many children malnourished.
France is going to recognize Palestine as a country, but Israel disagrees, fearing it will promote violence.
The main problems are troop presence, getting food into Gaza, and what happens after the fighting ends.

France will recognize a Palestinian state, a move criticized by Israel.
