The Red Cross has received the remains of two more hostages from Hamas, as funerals for dead hostages were held in Israeli cities.
Israeli authorities are refusing to compromise on the release of the remaining bodies of the 28 deceased hostages, accusing Hamas of breaching a ceasefire deal.
The Palestinian militant group claims to have honoured the agreement and returned all the bodies it had access to, while calling for assistance in retrieving the other remains.
Gazan residents have reportedly been stockpiling supplies in fears Israel will keep a key border crossing closed or the ceasefire might collapse.
Both Palestinians and Israelis released in a detainee exchange between Hamas and the Israeli government have alleged abuse and mistreatment during their time in custody.
