The agreement comes days after UN officials said a 10-month-old baby had been partially paralysed after contracting Gaza’s first case of polio for 25 years. In the United States, Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has recorded her first broadcast interview. She sat down with CNN alongside her running mate Tim Walz.
