Hamas freed three Israeli hostages and Israel freed 90 Palestinian prisoners on January 19th which is day one of the ceasefire, following a 15-month war that has caused destruction within the Gaza strip.

The truce has enabled Palestinians to go back to their conflict-stricken neighbourhoods to start rebuilding their future, as relief trucks brought in aid, Reuters reported.

As an act of celebration, fireworks was launched, whilst buses transporting the Palestinian prisoners reached Ramallah on the West Bank, where thousands awaited their arrival to welcome them. The people released from Israeli prisons included 69 women and 21 teenage boys from Jerusalem and the West Bank, Hamas says.
