A long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza began after a three-hour delay as Hamas named the three female hostages it plans to free later on Sunday. Israel had vowed to keep fighting until it received the names, as the long and uncertain process aimed at ending the war got off to a bumpy start.
The three were named as Emily Damari, a 28-year-old British-Israeli woman, Romi Gonen, 24, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31. The handover is due to take place at 2pm.
