Key points: Mr Netanyahu's office says the freed mother and daughter are en route to a military base in central Israel The Israeli military says it believes most of the 200 or so remaining hostages taken by Hamas are still alive An agreement was reached for the passage of 20 trucks into Gaza but supplies are yet to be let through Mother and daughter Judith and Natalie Raanan, who were taken from Nahal Oz kibbutz, near the Gaza border, were from Evanston, a suburb of Chicago, according to media reports in the United States. UN chief calls for fast action on aid Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visited the Rafah border crossing, calling for aid shipments to move from Egypt into the Gaza Strip "as quickly as possible" as the Israeli army readies for an imminent ground invasion. Egypt said it was not to blame for the closure of the Rafah crossing between it and the Gaza strip "despite Israeli targeted attacks and the refusal of the entry of aid", Egyptian foreign ministry spokesperson Ahmed Abu Zeid wrote on the X social media platform on Friday. On Friday, the Israeli military said it believed most of the 200 or so people kidnapped in Israel by Hamas militants and taken to the Gaza Strip are still alive.
