Hamas is open to a five-year truce and the release of all hostages in exchange for an end to the war in Gaza, according to an official. The group's negotiators are currently in talks with mediators in Cairo. The latest ceasefire proposal follows an Israeli offer that Hamas rejected as 'partial.'

The United Nations warns that food and medical supplies are running out in Gaza after nearly eight weeks of an Israeli aid blockade.
