Trucks carrying aid have entered Gaza for the first time
since the Israel-Hamas war erupted.
Live images show UN vehicles with white flags moving through
the Rafah crossing into Gaza from Egypt.
Earlier, Hamas released its first hostages since its major
surprise attack on Israel two weeks ago.
Among them were mother and daughter, Judith and Natalie
Raanan, who were among about 200 people abducted; Natalie’s half-brother has
told the BBC of his “overwhelming” joy at their release.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is trying to free
more hostages, though his forces will also “fight till victory”. Israel
continued to bombard Gaza overnight.
The convoy of aid is entering Gaza two weeks since Hamas
launched its assault on Israel, killing more than 1,400 people.
Palestinian officials say more than 4,000 people have died
in Gaza since then.
And the leaders of Arab and European countries will meet in
Egypt to discuss the crisis, but expectations are low because key players like
Iran – and Israel – might not attend.
