Israel controls almost every part of an aid distribution process plagued by bureaucracy, deadly attacks on civilians seeking food and a bombing campaign that has escalated civil disorder.

Israel will coordinate airdrops of aid into Gaza from foreign countries in the coming days, an Israeli security official confirmed to ABC News.

President Emmanuel Macron's announcement that France would become the first Western member of the United Nations Security Council to recognise a Palestinian state in September has caused diplomatic ructions from the Middle East through Europe to Washington.

Malnutrition has reached alarming levels in Gaza, aid officials say, with hunger now reportedly affecting civilians as well as journalists, doctors, and other personnel on the ground.

An analysis compiled by USAID officials says they failed to find evidence that Hamas engaged in widespread diversion of assistance in Gaza, ABC News has learned.

There are accusations that food supplies are being blocked by Israeli forces, something the Israeli government denies. CBS News New York's Lori Bordonaro has more from Westchester County, where one community is demanding an end to the crisis.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump appeared on Friday to abandon Gaza ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, both saying it had become clear that the Palestinian militants did not want a deal.
