Three female hostages released by Hamas have been reunited with their mothers.
The freed hostages are Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari.
Ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into force at 0915 GMT after a delay.
No fewer than 90 Palestinian prisoners were due to go free on Sunday.
Aid trucks have started crossing into Gaza even though Israel struck several targets in Gaza before ceasefire took effect. (Reuters/NAN)
