The mother and daughter of two US hostages held by Hamas have been freed.

At Kibbutz Nahal Oz in southern Israel, Hamas kidnapped Judith and Natalie Raanan.

The two have left Gaza and are travelling to a military base in the middle of Israel, according to the Israeli Prime Minister.

While US President Joe Biden expresses being “overjoyed” with the news, Natalie’s half-brother has told the BBC of his “overwhelming sense of joy” in the prospect.

They were among the 200 hostages that Hamas took during the bombings on October 7, taking them to Gaza.
