BBC liveblog: Israel says 90 Palestinian prisoners freed after Hamas releases three hostages in Gaza
SUMMARY
  • 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"

  • Ninety 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, our correspondent writes
