The International Committee of the Red Cross, which is partially facilitating hostage-prisoner exchanges between Israel and Hamas under a fragile Gaza truce, called on the parties Wednesday to “maintain the ceasefire.”
“All of the remaining hostages need to be released. People in Gaza need respite from violence and access to lifesaving humanitarian aid. This all depends on the continuation of the ceasefire agreement,” the ICRC says in a statement.
