Dozens of Palestinians were killed during Israeli airstrikes to secure their release

Dozens of Palestinians were killed during Israeli airstrikes to secure their release.

During the hostage rescue, dozens of Palestinians were killed in airstrikes in Rafah in southern Gaza. Many are asking, will Israel's threatened ground offensive still take place there? We hear the perspectives of both sides, as relatives celebrate the release of hostages, while Rafah residents mourn their dead. 

Also on the programme: Can the parties that did not win Pakistan's election, form a government? And, Kenya mourns its marathon superstar, Kelvin Kiptum, who has died in a car accident at the age of just twenty-four.
