NPR - Ceasefire talks with Israel and the U.S. representatives in Qatar were cut short yesterday, as hunger spreads in Gaza. Over 100 human rights and aid organizations have delivered a statement saying Israel’s siege of Gaza has “created chaos, starvation, and death.”
One of the sticking points in the negotiations is how much of an Israeli military presence will be in Gaza long-term, NPR’s Emily Feng says. Israeli negotiators left Qatar, saying they would need to consult with leaders after hitting a bump in the talks for a 60-day ceasefire. The U.S. team also left, and the Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff said Hamas doesn’t appear to be coordinated. The situation in Gaza is dire, with some parents starting to give their children salt water as that's all they have to provide, according to NPR’s Anas Baba, who has been providing Feng with daily updates.
