Through the night, well-wishers - some carrying Israeli flags - have been waiting for news in Hostages Square.

Under the terms of the ceasefire agreement, all 20 living hostages should now be released to the Red Cross. They鈥檒l then be driven to a military base to reunite with their families, or, if needed, taken immediately to a hospital.

The past day has seen a promised surge in aid reaching devastated Gaza. The UN says that along with its partners, it's distributed hundreds of thousands of hot meals and bread.
