Palestine Marathon attracts thousands of runners
Thousands of people have taken part in the Palestine Marathon and Half Marathon which returned to the West Bank city of Bethlehem after a two-year pause because of restrictions over the Gaza War.
The event, which attracted runners and spectators from across the West Bank and overseas, happened in conjunction with a race in Gaza, as a fragile ceasefire in the Palestinian Territory continues to hold.
Wyre Davies reports from the event in Bethlehem.
