The truce between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has been extended for two days.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, a Qatari foreign ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari said during two-day truce twenty more Gaza captives will be freed by Hamas while sixty Palestinians will be released from Israeli prisons.

Majed Al-Ansari said that deliveries of humanitarian aid to Gaza will also continue.

He said negotiations will continue over the next 48 hours in hopes of further extending the truce and securing the release of more civilian captives.
