Israel confirms two more hostages released from Gaza

Two elderly women hostages held by Hamas were released last night. The daughter of one says her mum is keen to pass on information which could get more people freed. The US says all hostages must be released before there can be a ceasefire.

The death toll in Gaza has risen past 5000 and although a small amount of aid has entered the territory, the people there are still facing a humanitarian crisis.

And hope for the people of Sudan. The Sudanese Armed Forces, the SAF and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, the RSF, who have been battling each other since April, are about to commence talks aimed at ending the violence.
