Israel increased aid distribution to Gaza over the weekend in an effort to defuse a growing international outcry over hunger convulsing the shattered Palestinian enclave.

The relief came after ceasefire talks faltered last week. Israel and the US accused Hamas of stonewalling and hinted that a further escalation in the more than 21-month-old war could follow.
