Twenty-four hostages have been released by Hamas and are now back in Israel.

Among them are 13 Israelis, 10 Thais and one Filipino, says Qatar, which has been mediating negotiations between Israel and Hamas.

The Israelis include four children - aged two, four, six and nine - as well as an 85-year-old woman.

Palestinian women and teenagers held by Israel have also been released to the West Bank as part of the deal.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting from Tel Aviv.
