TL;DR Summary

Israel is reviewing a list of hostages to be freed by Hamas on Saturday, following the release of 24 hostages the previous day. The truce between Israel and Hamas is the first such break, with both sides saying hostilities will resume once the truce ends. The released hostages, including Israeli women and children and Thai farm workers, were transferred to Egypt and then taken to Israel for medical checks and reunions with relatives. U.S. President Joe Biden expressed hope for extending the truce and emphasized the need for humanitarian aid in Gaza. The World Health Organization called for more support and a sustained ceasefire.
