Thousands of displaced Palestinians attempting to reach northern Gaza have gathered at the military barrier blocking their progress for two days.

Images show massive crowds waiting to pass the Netzarim Corridor, a road which separates north and south Gaza and is controlled by Israeli troops.

The ceasefire and hostage and prisoner release deal came into force on 19 January. Two prisoner exchanges have been completed.

On the third, Hamas will release Ms Yehud and two other hostages on Friday, followed by three more on Saturday, Netanyahu and Qatar, which has mediated the talks, said.

Israel will begin to allow Palestinians to move north on Monday, as well as freeing more Palestinians prisoners later in the week.
