Crowds greet first 90 Palestinians freed in Israel-Hamas truce

Crowds greet the first Palestinian prisoners released as part of the hostage-prisoner swap deal between Israel and Hamas, as the first phase of a ceasefire begins.

Brokered by Qatar, the United States and Egypt, the initial 42-day truce will see 33 Israeli hostages returned in exchange for around 1,900 Palestinians, and will allow the entrance of much-needed humanitarian aid to war-torn Gaza.
