‘I came back to life’ says freed British hostage, as Gaza ceasefire enters second day

Freed British-Israeli hostage Emily Damari says she "came back to life", as her mother says her daughter is "the happiest girl in the world" and doing better than expected

She and two other women were released by Hamas yesterday - they are all said to be in a stable condition and are undergoing more medical checks in hospital

Ninety Palestinian prisoners were released overnight in exchange for the hostages - most of them women and teenage boys 

Some of the freed prisoners describe "indescribable joy" as they were pictured hugging their loved ones in tears

The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is now in its second day - Gazans tell the BBC they slept soundly for the first time since the war

But there is still uncertainty at what lies ahead, our correspondent writes - and joy faded as Gazans returned to their destroyed homes.
