Moment mum reunites with twins after fleeing Gaza

A mother has told how seeing her twins in a surprise reunion at their school after fleeing the Israel Gaza war was "the best moment in my life".

Islam Alashi, 37, left her Merseyside home to visit her sick father in Gaza just before the conflict broke out.

Her husband said their five-year-old children cried for her every day as they waited for her return.

They finally got their wish when she got home and surprised them at Riverside Primary School in Seacombe.
