The Qatari Foreign Ministry confirmed that a four-day humanitarian pause in Gaza hostilities, mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the U.S., has been agreed, according to a statement published on Wednesday.
The starting time of the pause will be announced within the next 24 hours and last for four days, subject to extension, the statement said.
The agreement includes the release of 50 civilian women and children hostages currently held in the Gaza Strip in exchange for the release of a number of Palestinian women and children detained in Israeli prisons, and the number of those released will be increased in later stages of implementing the agreement, according to the statement.
The humanitarian pause will also allow the entry of a larger number of humanitarian convoys and relief aid, including fuel designated for humanitarian needs.
