the icrc bus picked us up at four, then the icrc officers checked and gave us permits.visit and gave us some instruction. the children rejoice that they're going to see their father for the first time, for example. my little son muhannad has never seen his father. muhannad does not even know him. we had been promised that all the children will meet their father. unfortunately muhammad was allowed to meet his dad, but his brother wasn't. the little child started crying. we beged them to let him go with his brother, but they turned a cold shoulder. i love my dad, i miss him so much. i asked them for an hour to enter, but the israelis refused. i was looking forward to hugging him. us by all means, they relieved my fears of the visit, honestly speaking, i was afraid and did not want to go, i refused the visit, but later when i met abu said, came with the icrc officers, i became quite and calm, i thought that whatever happened in the prison would be safe with the icrc officers. icrc is coordinating with palestinian and israeli authorities in order to allow gaz and detainees

we walk to the icrc office at 4:00. not to see him, i can feel my wish coming true. being in prison prevented muhammad nashabat from bidding farell to his mother before. she had passed away, the crew accompanied muhammad in his visit to the tomb. yusuf is a child whose mother delivered while she was imprisoned, jail doors raised him in endless flow of fear. حرم الحليب و عمرره شهرين بحجه ان الشركات الاسرائي they deprived. my baby from milk at the age of two months due to their claim that the israeli milk companies closed. for me the milk price was very expensive so i win the baby off pressed milk and fid him bread and yogurt. can you imagine this? then the baby's temperature rose high and he had a convulsion. i thought i would lose my baby, and this all was because of the occupation's carelessness. the occupation never provided health care to the baby. he had not been checked by any doctor except one time. the released prisoner meets one of his present friends after being released. welcome, how are you doing? i am fine,

as i understand it, the role of the icrc is simply to - role of the icrc is simply to facilitate there handed overfrom the hostages are handed overfrom the brigade, they'll be taken by the red cross and handed to the egyptian authorities. i don't think the red cross were involved actually in the process. we discussed before but a complicated process this has been, because you haven't had direct communication through one mediator, but you've had the israelis talking to the americans, the americans talking to the qatar breeze, and the qatari is talking to hamas, and vice versa. so there is an enormous room for what we may say, something important getting lost in translation. so i'm amazed that hate that i could they have reached a deal through this process. == that i could they have reached a deal through this process. -- i'm amazed that _ deal through this process. -- i'm amazed that they _ deal through this process. -- i'm amazed that they reached - deal through this process. -- i'm amazed that they reached a - deal through this process. -- i'm| amazed that they reached a deal. deal

the role of the icrc in this process is quite simple. it is to implement the deal, the agreement, between the parties. we're not part of the negotiation, and, you know, we're not aware of the details and how and what is exactly in the content of this agreement. that as neutral intermediary, to facilitate the release and the transfer of either the hostages, or the palestinian detainees. we are in contact with the parties and as usual we are really here to facilitate the implementation on the ground. >> all right and pascal do please share with us and i'm very sorry i wasn't able to hear your response, i'm having technical issues with my sound. do share with us what happened after the handover of the hostages, what did the liberated captives tell you what were their reactions, their first words, describe that moment for us. >> an extremely emotional moment. as you can imagine. they were held captive for quite a while. and i think just by seeing the red cross we could see in the eyes that, you know, finally there was hope for them. so we to

not when they are in the middle ground where the icrc have them and are transporting them.re received by israel, that is when we expect at ofer prison, the result of the —— release of the palestinian prisoners, women and teenage boys, 39 of them to be released today. the expectation is if all goes well, it is a pattern we will see repeated over the next three days. it is a four—day deal, so at a crucial stage. to reiterate what you're saying, multiple israeli media sources now saying there was a 13 israeli hostages, and we also know 12 thai nationals have been released as well, now with the red cross inside gaza en route to the rafah crossing between gaza and egypt. over the past few days, we have spoken to quite a lot of families have had loved ones taken and held hostage. one of the most poignant things i was told by one of them is that they're actually quite frightened to be hopeful, this is going to be such a moment for the families as well who have put a huge amount of political pressure on the government to make this happen. tell us the sort of emotions that people ha

the first obligation today, that hamas hand over those 13 women and children to the icrc. we are not sure, we cannot yet know exactly where those hostages are or whether they are together in one group. certainly, i have literally been told in the last couple of seconds, that not everybody as of yet is with the red cross. the hope is, that will happen soon. that is what i'm being told. but it hasn't happened as of yet. so obviously, there is a little bit of conflicking reporting going on as things stand. one has to hope this process is just slightly delayed at this point. it is early in this process. it's only 4:38 local time. the scheduled release was at 4:00 p.m. i think many people were surprised that this was happening as quickly as it was on the ground. schedules are schedules until they're broken. and this is a very, very difficult situation. neither side has any trust for the other, which is why this operation room is being set up here by the mediation team in qatar with the icrc, and they are in constant touch with those involved in this process. so without getting

explain to us, the icrc has been at _ coming. explain to us, the icrc has been at the _ coming.n at the forefront - has been at the forefront during this pause infighting, some hostages held by hamas have described how they feared for their lives as they were being transferred as well, being transferred as well, being surrounded by angry crowds. what can the icrc do to reduce risks in transit?- reduce risks in transit? indeed it is a critical— reduce risks in transit? indeed it is a critical time _ reduce risks in transit? indeed it is a critical time between - it is a critical time between when the hostages are passed from one party to another and it is still a very complicated area when you also have unexploded devices and people gathering around in condition that are not under our control. so we need to obviously be taking care of the hostages and reassuring them, giving them perspective of what is coming as well in each moment and it is overwhelming for them, but also making sure that all safety guarantees are respected as regards to transferring those people back in the bes

by phone, in contact with the icrc. on the ground, they were getting the minute by minute update on who had been released, when they were handed over, when they were safely into the icrc's hands, where they were in gaza, how they got out of the rafah -- out of gaza into rafah and subsequently as we now know into the hands of the israelis or soon to be in the hands of the israelis. so it has been -- it has been tense, and it has been an anxious day. i think it is fair to say, for these mediators. but those who have been involved in these incredibly tense, very complicated talks made so much more difficult at times, they tell me, by the escalation and violence on the ground. certainly feel as if at least day one has gone as well as could be expected, perhaps even better than could be expected. but they say their work is not done. this is a four-day phase, plus some, if it all goes to plan. so, day two, tomorrow, hamas are obliged to provide a list of those they will release, has to be at least ten hostages and in exchange

we were looking at 12 thai nationals to be released into icrc hands today.course, as we understood it, there are going to be 13 israeli hostages released by hamas as part of the main deal to be released into the hands of the icrc, and what we need to do now is to wait and see who is in those convoys and as they leave egypt and then make their way into israel if indeed that is what the thais are doing, and probably make a sort of the loose assumption that everybody is going to be traveling together now into israel, into the hands of the idf, and we have been reporting all morning, haven't we, about the sensitivities with which the idf are going to be dealing with the israeli hostages specifically, and we have to assume that, you know, they have got, and we know they have specific instructions of how the deal with the kids who are through this traumatic ordeal. one cannot even imagine it. i'm a mom, but you don't have to be a mom to try and imagine what it is that everybody has been through, and not the least the little ones, and we don't know who has been rel

just a quick other point, which the prime minister confirmed tonight, that the icrc will be able to goe other hostages who won't be released, which is crucial because we don't really have a full tally yet of who is there and what condition they are in. i tally yet of who is there and what condition they are in.— condition they are in. i have to say, christian, _ condition they are in. i have to say, christian, i— condition they are in. i have to say, christian, i am _ condition they are in. i have to say, christian, i am a - condition they are in. i have to say, christian, i am a bit- condition they are in. i have to - say, christian, i am a bit confused about this. it was always the demand of the israelis that the icrc what should be able to go in, the red cross should be able to go and check on the captives, and deliver medicines. now, we heard mr netanyahu's say that, it was also put to me earlier by another official that they demand that the ic can go in and see these people. he has been suggesting or that it is part of the agreement now, the mediated agreement with qatar that the

jason is the spokesperson for the icrc, the international committee for the red cross. thank you for joining us. we've spoken several times. is there anything you can tell us about tonight's expected release of more hostages? >> i know people are really interested. you're here for news on this fourth evening of a potential hostage release. the most i can tell you right now is that i don't have any indication that it is not going to happen. but given the conservative approach we take to assure the safety of the hostages and our team, there is no other information i have on whether it has started or ongoing right now. >> has there already been a delay, jason? >> also a super pertinent question. i let off that chuckle because it is another piece of information i don't have. here's why. we have a very, very small team of people in direct communication with the israeli government based if tel aviv. we have a very, very small team of people in gaza in touch with hamas. coordinating between the two sides, working with them both. when is the timing? when can we move? is it safe

that they have managed to negotiate this clause, if you like, in which the red cross, the icrc, willget into the gaza strip and actually access the hostages that are still there and on an ongoing basis. that's going to give the israeli government and, of course, families in israel a bit more clarity about whether their loved ones are still surviving. because, the speaker of 246 is the fact that bandied around about the number of hostages being held by hamas and other militant groups inside gaza. we don't know, nobody knows, what their condition is. whether they are dead or alive. some of them, we know or did. but, authors, we are not sure about. so the icrc will be able to give the families and all of us some clarity on that. >> you've got to wonder, matthew, why would hamas agree to know when the location, or alerting them to the location of the hostages, and the concession being made. it's one question i think is looming over all of this. but thank goodness there are at least some people coming home. matthew chance, thank you so much. >>> i want to bring an extremist political and

obligations today, the first is that the 13 hostages will be released by hamas into the arms of the icrc. they will then be taken through gaza and into israel by whichever route seems most appropriate. that really depends on where these hostages are being held. they may not all be being held in the same place. once, as we understand it, once the israelis have seen those hostages have been released, then they will begin to release 39 prisoners, woand mostly youn men under the age of 18, palestinian prisoners from a jail. they will be taken to another jail. those are the first obligations. the second is that there's no hostility. either on the ground or through surveillance drones or drones being flown in the air. very specifically around the period of time that these hostages are released. they are the expected to be released around about the same time every day. today that will be around or after 9:00 a.m. eastern time, 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon there in gaza. and the third is ensuring the border crossing is open for at least 200 trucks worth of supplies coming through. let's get more i

and of course hamas need to move these hostages to a place where they can be transferred to icrc andventually to israeli custody. my understanding is from the conversations i've been having with israeli officials is that the hostages will come out in batch of about 10 or 12 and they'll be back into egypt into israel, three different locations. it's manly going to be children. and children will be met at the border. children over the age of 12, they'll meet their loved ones inside the hospitals. if the injuries are dealt with and you've got the psychological problems. i was speaking to a counselor earlier today. there's a team in israel waiting to manage those traumas there are going to be part of being released of hostage. >> we heard from the two elderly women who were released. the daylight just shocked them after being underground for so long. matthew chance, great reporting. we'll continue to check back in with you. for the families of these hostages, this delay has only prolonged the anguish, the anticipation they've been feeling for 47 days now. joining me tonight is someone wh

we're hoping to get those to the icrc, and we're hoping the icrc is able to get in and get treatment to hersh and all the other hostages who need it. >> you talk about the frustration with having a lack of information. you and rachel have been going through so much trying to find out something, anything, about your son for the last 47 days. have israeli or u.s. authorities given you any update on what they're doing to try to locate your son? >> so, we know that there are a lot of efforts underway by both the israelis and the u.s. we feel a sense of support, but that support has not fed into us getting information. i do think that to the extent maybe somebody has information, they're guarding it for security reasons. but regardless, it's been super frustrating living in the dark for 47 days without knowing -- forget the details like, where is he? what's he eating? who's he with? that would all be nice. but i don't expect to know that. we just want to know proof of life. we want to know if he's alive, is he getting medical treatment. and not knowing that has been one of the hardest par

to lift a crippling bloccade on the enclave has led to humanitarian disaster, as described by the icrc. more than half of the hospitals in gaza have closed down. the situation is described as intolerable by iranians who have supported the palestinian resistance from day one. on the streets of terron. people are calling this an unbearable human tragedy unfolding before their very eyes. we have them in any way, shape or form that we can. the entire world is watching silently and even western countries and the us in particular are blatantly supporting the zinanists as they commit these atrocities. the palestinians are our muslim brothers and sisters, and we have to do everything we can do to help them. most barbaric stains that one could imagine are coming out of gaza. i couldn't sleep the night as i saw images of hospital in gaza, where a young child pulled from under the rouble was all alone. crying, he was probably the only one left from his family, just like many other kids there, how can the world do nothing? all countries should call for an immediate fire. i can't believe that in ye
