Israeli authorities say 14 hostages held by Hamas will be released on Saturday.
As part of the Qatar-brokered deal, Israel will release 42 Palestinian prisoners. It's the second day of a four-day pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Friday saw the release of 24 hostages - they included 13 Israelis, 10 Thais and one Filipino national. 39 Palestinian prisoners were released as part of the deal.
The biggest humanitarian convoy since the start of the war entered Gaza on Friday, carrying fuel, food and medical supplies
Hamas’s attacks on 7 October killed 1,200 people, with about 240 taken hostage.
Since then, Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says more than 14,500 people have been killed in Israel's retaliatory campaign.
