Israeli defence minister says withdrawal part of preparations for attack on Rafah; Egyptian media reports progress in negotiations
An all-female group of charity volunteers from Birmingham have sent gender-specific products to the women in Gaza to “give a little bit of dignity” to those living in the war-torn region.
The team of eight women, working with the charity ISRA-UK, arrived in Cairo, Egypt, on 1 April, where they spent a week in a warehouse packing and loading around 3,000 hygiene kits onto a lorry which will be driven across the Rafah border into Gaza.
