Emotional scenes in the Middle East as hostages reunite with their families across Israel.
Busloads of Palestinian prisoners have also arrived to large crowds in Gaza in an exchange brokered by US President Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, Trump and other world leaders have signed a ceasefire deal during a summit in Egypt.
