Saudi daily al-Sharq publishes what it says is the list of the 34 hostages to be freed in the first phase of a potential hostage-ceasefire deal.

Hamas has refused to say who on the list is alive.

According to the report, an official from the terror group says it will take around a week to determine the condition of each of the hostages.
The list includes two children, 10 women, 11 older men and 11 men aged under 50.

The outlet says the following individuals would be released if a deal were to be reached.
