The US military will fly three planeloads of crucial humanitarian aid to North Sinai in Egypt to be brought into Gaza to aid civilians in the region.

Relatives and a friend of Israelis kidnapped and killed by Hamas visited Australia's Parliament House to lobby for international support for the release of all hostages and to support Israel's war effort. The group aims to get the hostages back and gain support from the Australian people and government for Israel's actions against Hamas.

The U.S. says it will push for the truce to last until all the hostages are released. The extension, announced by Qatari mediators, comes as 11 more Israeli hostages, including 3-year-old twins, are released. The pause marks the longest break in fighting in the Gaza Strip since October 7.
