that they are in good health. but also there is concern and anger about those that will inevitably be left behind if this deal continues with the terms that it is that it has right now, which is the release of 50, it is really a hostages. we heard this morning in a press conference from families of hostages, who know that their loved ones are not going to be coming back, whether their family members are, are young, but our men or a, the soldiers, and for them, this is a particularly sad time, even though they have said that they are also very happy for the people that are are going to be released and have been released a we'll also see more palestinian prisoners release from is rarely prisons. what do we know about them? so we're told that $42.00 palestinian prisoners will be released today as well.

they will be released in east jerusalem and the westbank. we don't have a lot of details about why they were in prison, but what israel has said is that they will not be releasing convicted murderers. but these prisoners and a lot of whom are under the age of 18, have been convicted of charges like, you know, an attempt to hurt a soldier or a police officer or throwing rocks or arson. so violent crimes. but not crimes that have, you know, resulted in someone getting murdered. but we don't have the details about today's batch yet. we saw who came out yesterday and we saw also very emotional. a image is coming out of the west bank of families being reunited. and that's women, prisoners, and also teenagers. people at ment under the age of 18 to hey, i'm curious as the ceasefire holds much needed,

aid of course is trickling into gaza. but are the injured getting out to get a better treatment? we don't have any fresh information about people leaving the gaza strip today, but we have previously seen egypt take some palestinian at some of the more severely a injured to egypt to hospitals. besides the evacuation of the babies that were at l, she 5 days before the cease fire, so that possibility we certainly bear, but what we know for sure and what humanitarian organizations have been saying is that the ceasefire needs to be extended, that it is unrealistic for them to be able to deliver it. they needed a to the people of gaza within just 4 days. i mean, we're already past the 1st day, so we're talking about 3 days as well. certainly humanitarian organization. you know, support that called by presidential by that we just heard that hopefully the ceasefire can be extended so that more relief can be delivered to the people of god. that's

so dw special correspondent abraham intel abuse of many things. a mazda is also released 10 tie hostages, taken during the october 7th attacks. ty authorities released images of their citizens with one filipino in and is really hospital. bangkok had been engaging for weeks in its own diplomatic talks to free it's nationalist, held by him us. the deal was separate to the one which saw these really hostages released. what happened at the same time? a dw, the asia pacific bureau chief gail bottles is in northern thailand. i asked him earlier about the reaction there to the release of the ty hostages. now of course, huge relief here in thailand, particularly where i am and who don't tell me where a lot of the migrant workers who were killed or taken hostage by almost any sort of time frame. we reached out to. one of the families was now waiting for the phone to

return. their son was taken hostage and they are overjoyed about the news that he will return soon. icons. he's still in his right of the hospital on the but overall the thailand has been really shocked by the news of the that's so many type people in the, in this, in this war, in this initial attack by almost got killed us or 29 people killed so a thailand was following closely, every development in the story scale. what else do we know about the negotiations and the remaining ty hostages? well, overall, according to the governments 26 people have been taken hostage as. so that means 60 not so you have to be freed. and the type prime minister here made clear that there they are very of working very hard with the foreign ministry, not to reach a solution to get these other. a 16 natalia citizens of free. you have to

understand that the embassy of, uh, iran in bangkok set, made an announcement uh today that they facilitated this uh deal. that's term type people. uh, where freight and thailand has a large muslim community in the south of the country and representative from that community traveled to chat room to talk directly to our most to facilitate a deal. i'm curious, give us some perspective of what employment is real means for type workers and what impact the october 7th mazda attack might have on they're willing to is to continue doing such work. now with 30 thousands of tired nationals in these right deals. are they all the biggest uh, michael and worker group and they are there for a reason to be that is because in this part of thailand or there are fairly uh, drops that pays that to help families to live. and so they travel abroad. and that is what the type prime minister address. so when he now is said he's very concerned

about so many type people being in such a dangerous area off the world. and he's set on financial incentive for people to return. but he also said he needs to address what it needs to change the working conditions here in thailand so that people no longer have to travel and risk their lives in order to feed their families. interesting perspective there. thank you so much. dw georg matches from northern time as they choose between israel and a mazda appears to be holding agencies or stepping up efforts to deliver much needed supplies, such as fuel, water, and medicine to gaza. those still trapped in the territory are using the rest bite in fighting to search for belongings and the bodies of loved ones free from the threat of error strikes. abdul aziz and those are, has returned to the site where his home once stood in southern gaza. he searches through the rubble looking for anything which could keep his family warm in the
