Humanitarian deal agreed for Israeli hostages

As the fighting in northern Gaza between Israel and Hamas reintensifies, a deal has been brokered to deliver medicines to Israeli hostages in exchange for supplying aid to Palestinian civilians in the enclave. In Yemen, the US says it has carried a new strike on Houthi targets, while the Iran-backed group has claimed another attack on a shipping vessel in the Red Sea. With tensions spilling over into the wider region after Iranian strikes in Iraq and Syria, world leaders are warning of the urgent need for a sustainable peace agreement.
