The head of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces said late on Monday that his paramilitaries would immediately enter into a three-month humanitarian truce, after U.S. President Donald Trump said last week that he would intervene to seek an end to a war that has plunged the country into famine.

President Trump's formula has worked so far in the tense Middle East, though its long-term viability remains in question.

Israel is allowing more food into Gaza, but aid workers say vital ingredients needed to improve people's diets are still missing.

CAIRO (AP) — Sudan’s top general rejected a ceasefire proposal provided by U.S.-led mediators as “the worst yet,” in a blow to efforts to stop a devastating war that has gripped the African country for over 30 months.

It is now a year since Israel and Hezbollah formally agreed to a ceasefire. It was meant to end more than 13 months of cross-border violence, and an Israeli ground invasion that killed more than 4,000 Lebanese and 127 Israelis.

Turkey's spy chief met with his Egyptian counterpart and Qatar's foreign minister in Cairo on Tuesday to discuss transitioning to the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal and increasing joint efforts in coordination with the U.

The controversial, US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) says it is winding down its aid operations in the Palestinian territory, after almost six months. The organisation had already suspended its three food distribution sites in Gaza after the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect six weeks ago.

Their meeting comes two days after a senior Hamas delegation met with the Egyptian spy chief to discuss the second phase of the truce.
