The Foreign Office has said it will “continue to work tirelessly” on securing the release of more hostages after a British citizen confirmed her mother had been freed by Hamas.

Sharone Lifschitz spoke of her relief that her mother Yocheved Lifshitz was handed over by the Palestinian militants, along with fellow Israeli citizen Nurit Cooper, on Monday evening.
