Israel-Gaza: Deal to extend truce

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Israel-Gaza: Deal to extend truce

Qatar says an agreement has been reached to extend the truce for two days

Qatar says an agreement has been reached to extend the humanitarian truce for an additional two days.

Qatar has announced that an agreement has been reached to extend the humanitarian truce for an additional two days. The truce had been due to expire after today. Mediators have also been trying to resolve problems over today's exchange of hostages for prisoners. Israel has now notified the families of hostages due to be released today.

We hear about the situation in Gaza. We speak to the uncle of 17-year old Noam and his 13-year old sister Alma who were released from Gaza over the weekend. We hear first-hand accounts by two people who managed to leave Gaza since 7th October. 

Our disinformation and social media correspondent has been investigating how the Israel-Gaza conflict is being told online. 

We speak to our climate editor about his investigation revealing that the United Arab Emirates appear to have been using its role as host of this year’s climate talks to strike oil and gas deals. 

And football fans share what they think has been the best goal, after Alejandro Garnacho’s stunning bicycle kick for Manchester United over the weekend. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
