The BBC says it has seen the list of 34 hostages to be released in the first phase of a potential ceasefire deal.
The British broadcaster says the list was shared by an unnamed senior Hamas official. The Palestinian terror group is refusing to detail who on the list is alive.
The outlet does not publish the list, but says it features 10 women and 11 older male hostages aged between 50 and 85, in addition to two children, presumably Ariel and Kfir Bibas.
The outlet says the list also includes a number of hostages Hamas says are sick.
