Some family members and activists used cages to block a main road on Tuesday night, as they demanded more be done to free those still being held by Hamas.

Their calls have become more desperate since negotiators returned from Qatar.

One Israeli official said the indirect talks had reached "a dead end".

Mediators had been pushing a deal for a six-week halt in Israel's offensive in Gaza in return for the release of 40 of the remaining 130 hostages. At least 30 hostages are presumed dead.
