Newsday

An official involved with the operation confirms to Reuters that the Red Cross has arrived at the first collection point in Gaza. The ICRC says it will not provide footage of released hostages or detainees during the operations, "out of respect for the dignity of those released and the condition they may be in, as well as issues linked to their safety".
