In early March, the Muslim holy month of Ramadan began amid dashed hopes<\/a> that negotiators would reach a deal for a pause in the fighting in Gaza.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, as weeks of fasting were drawing to a close, the pace of the war had slowed. But the prospect of relief and peace of any duration in the embattled territory remained elusive.<\/p>\n
