Watch a view of an Israeli prison and the Rafah border crossing as more hostages and prisoners are released as part of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal on Sunday, 26 November.

Three groups of hostages and prisoners have so far been released by the militant group and Israel respectively.

On Friday, 13 Israelis were freed after weeks of being held captive inside Gaza.

Seventeen more hostages were released on Saturday - including a nine-year-old Irish-Israeli girl whose father originally thought she was dead.

They were among 240 people kidnapped by Hamas during the 7 October attack on Israel when 1,200 people were killed.

A four-year-old American girl, Abigail Edan, was released as part of this group.
