The tense cease-fire between Israel and Hamas appeared to be back on track early on Sunday after the release of a second group militant-held hostages and Palestinians from Israeli prisons.
The exchange was delayed on Saturday evening after Hamas accused Israel of violating the agreement.
The militants released 17 hostages, including 13 Israelis, while Israel freed 39 Palestinian prisoners.
The ceasefire has given Gazans a few days of calm, however, any attempts to move towards the south of the Strip was thwarted by the troops. Meanwhile, for the second day, hundreds of people from north who have sought refugee lined up outside gas stations to stock up.
The United Nations said the truce has made it possible to scale up the delivery of food, water, and medicine to the largest volume since the start of the war. It was also able to deliver 1,29,000 litres of fuel, just over 10 per cent of daily pre-war volume, as well as cooking gas, a first since the war began.
The Israeli hostages freed on Saturday included seven children and six women, Netanyahu's office announced.
Meanwhile, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed that they have received a list of the hostages due to be released.
In a sign of the fragility of the exchanges, the last swap delayed for hours after Hamas accused Israel of violating the deal.
Meanwhile, a Palestinian farmer was, reportedly, killed and another injured on Sunday after Israeli forces targeted Maghazi refugee camp in Gaza.
Diaa Rashwan, chair of the Egyptian State Information Services, said Egypt had received a list of 13 hostages that Hamas will release on Sunday and another list of 39 Palestinians that Israel is expected to free.

Also, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters that US had reason to believe that an American hostage would be released along with those to be freed on Sunday. Hopes are high that it would be Abigail Edan, the 4-year-old-girl who lost her parents in the Hamas attack on October 7.
Meanwhile, Hamas said it had released one of the Russian hostages it was holding, separately, in response to the efforts of Russian President Vladimir Putin and as an appreciation to Moscow's position on the war.
Nine-year old reunites with family
A nine-year-old reunites with her family. Dublin-born Emily Hand was released by Hamas on Saturday."Emily has back to us,” her father said as Emily rushed into his embrace in an Israel hospital last night as part of a deal that.
“We can’t find the words to describe our emotions after 50 challenging and complicated days,” her family said in a statement.
Emily was on a sleep over in a friend's house in n kibbutz Be’eri, one of the war-torn region, when she was abducted.
Her friend Hila Rotem, 13, was also released last night but her mother, Raya Rotem, 54, is still being held captive.
The taoiseach Leo Varadkar had said in a social media post that “An innocent girl who was lost has now been found and returned, and our country breathes a massive sigh of relief.”
“For her family, these seven weeks have been a slow and cruel torture. We hope she will soon heal and recover from the traumatic experience in the loving embrace of her family,” he said.
Varadkar's 'lost' comment has been criticised by Israel's foreign minister.
"Following the outrageous words of the prime minister of Ireland about the release of Emily Hand, who was kidnapped to Gaza by the terrorist organization Hamas, I summoned the Irish ambassador to Israel for a reprimand," said Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen.
