Gaza ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas has come into effect

A Gaza ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas has come into effect.

The long-sought ceasefire for Gaza, where Israel has been waging a powerful military campaign for the past 15 months, was agreed by Israel's cabinet on Friday night after a breakthrough in negotiations mediated by the US, Qatar and Egypt was announced on Wednesday.

It was initially set to begin at 6.30am today but it was put on hold by Benjamin Netanyahu after Hamas failed to issue the list of the hostages up for release to Israel.

Now, Israel has confirmed it will go ahead at 9.15am after it received a list of hostages in Gaza to be released today.
