Israel and Hamas have agreed to a 42-day pause in fighting and the exchange of hostages and Palestinian detainees from Sunday.

Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman announced the deal on Wednesday, which will allow 600 lorries of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza per day - 100 more lorries a day than Palestinians in Gaza required before the war. Humanitarian agencies have told The National that number is far from enough.

One NGO head said aid groups are having to choose between sending food or shelter in the face of dire needs and desperation.

Meanwhile, Israel continues air strikes on Gaza.

The Palestinian Civil Defence has said its crew members have retrieved five bodies after Israeli forces bombed a house in the Rimal neighbourhood, west of Gaza city, early Thursday.

Ten people have also been injured in the strike. As of this morning, it is the latest deadly Israeli attack to rock Gaza city after the ceasefire deal was announced late last night.

And Israel's cabinet is expected to meet today to approve a ceasefire and hostage release deal with Hamas, Israeli media reported.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with both US President Joe Biden and president-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday, his office said. He thanked them for their help securing the agreement but also said that "final details" were still being hammered out.
