Watch: Return of 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 5K race in Gaza, as a fragile ceasefire in the Palestinian Territory continues to hold.

Wyre Davies reports from the event in Bethlehem.
