The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is entering its second day – one Gazan tells the BBC he slept soundly for the first time since the war “because of feeling safe”
90 Palestinian prisoners were released overnight as part of the first phase of the ceasefire, the Israeli prison service has said – most of them women and teenage boys.
Three Israeli women including a dual British national were earlier released by Hamas – they are being treated in a Tel Aviv hospital and are in a stable condition.
There have been emotional reunions on both sides – Palestinians were greeted with hugs and cheers by their families, while freed hostage Emily Damari shared the moving moment she had a video call with her family.
The ceasefire in Gaza came into force after a last-minute delay, but joy faded as Palestinians returned to their destroyed homes and there is still uncertainty at what lies ahead. (BBC)
