welcome to our viewers joining us from around the w world. i'm max foster. seven weeks of a relent last israeli military campaign against hamas is now on hold. a planned truce has been in effect for about four hours now as part of a deal to start the release of israeli hostages. qatar's foreign ministry says the aim is for a lasting truce that would extend beyond the four days and ultimately end the violence. a cnn team reported artillery and rocket fire in the first few minutes of the truce, but that subdued and subsided quickly. according to qatar, first women and children hostages are sgesg exp expected to be released around five hours from now. israel has agreed to free 39 palestinians in israeli jails today. and inci dozens more the coming days if hamas keeps freeing israelis. >> translator: we hope for a truce. we are tired. the people of gaza are tired. we will no longer hear the sound of aircraft and bombardment. we will be able to sit in safety. >> translator: a truce will be a good beginning and the fear in us will go away. >> translator: if there is a truce, we will be mentally relieved. the truce is a mental comfort. >> let's bring in eleni giokos in cairo. so it didn't start exactly on the deadline, but it does appear to be holding right now, this truce. >> reporter: and that is important. both sides committing to the parameters of this deal. and that means cessation of all fighting, airstrikes by land and air as well. and just taking you through this, because even the qataris were talking about orchestrating this correctly, logistics of course very challenging. here is what we know. we're expecting 13 women and children, israeli women and children, hostages right now that are in gaza that will be released by hamas. when that happens, and importantly when they are back in israeli hands, and this is what officials tell us, then only will the palestinians that are imprisoned which include women and children will then be released. in terms of the logistics, and this is important because egypt plays a central role, we know they were a part of the mediation as well, hostages will enter israel through two loca locations, a border crossing with egypt and also then the crossing with gaza. we know they are not expected to cross into egypt, but those are the two points that we're expecting them to come back into israeli hands. what is important to note, we've also heard from sources that rafah border is also on high alert for any exchange. but the israelis have been clear that only once the prisoners or the hostages are back in israel will they then release the imprisoned palestinians. so this is going to be not concurrently happening, but it is a leap of faith by both sides. as you rightly say, qatar has said that they are hoping the stree truce will create momentum to keep more hostages coming out and more aid into gaza. and this is going to be quite a vital thing to look at. we're expecting 13 women and children and 39 imprisoned palestinians, that is the exchange we're hoping to see from 4:00 p.m. local time. >> in terms of the aid deliveries, have you seen them moving into gaza? >> reporter: you and i have been talking the last couple of days seeing the aid trucks lining up. and as of this morning, from what we understand, 90 deliveries have already crossed through into gaza. those are aid trucks. seven fuel trucks have also crossed in. we know the quota is 200 aid trucks her day and we've been speaking to international aid organizations and they have reiterated that this is not an efficient process. when checked at the rafah border, they cross over and then another israeli checkpoint and then they have to be off loaded into trucks in gaza and then only distributed. so 200 trucks a day we know is a stuff ask because of the logistical parameters that play out. 130,000 liters of diesel fuel is the quota per day as well as four gas trucks as well. important developments that the egyptians have said, that for the first time since the war started, palestinians that are in egypt will be able to good they wish to cross back into gaza. so this channel has opened up for the very first time. the continuation of evacuations, foreign nationals, dual passport holders as well as injured palestinians coming into egypt still in the cards. we've seen some of that happening as well since this truce began. but there is just so much happening at rafah right now in terms of the trucks and the aid. and we've spoken about just the dire humanitarian needs inside of gaza. qatar even said yesterday that while this is welcomed, you've got 200 trucks for the first time on a daily basis entering gaza, they have reiterated just a traction of the needs right now in gaza. from what the hospital needs and the medication that is completely run out, and we've spoken about the harrowing decisions that doctors have to make, running out of fuel and water, and then the diseases that are breaking out right now in gaza as well. we're looking at such a catastrophic scenario. so this window of opportunity to get aid into gaza with this enormous deal to get hostages out of gaza is absolutely vital. the qataris are hopeful that this will continue. they are hoping that over the four day period, you've got commitment on the cessation of fighting so that this can go through. priority of course is the hostages and from the gaza side and especially from the international humanitarian side, they want more aid and they need it now. and they need it desperately. >> eleni giokos in cairo, thank you so much. more perspective from the west bank, a policy lead for oxfam joining us. could you take us through what you understand about the amount being allowed in and how it will be handled once it is there? >> oxfam doesn't actually -- it is important to understand is that before the 6 of october, most -- actually all humanitarian agencies would operate through israel. so our supply routes and our operations were through israeli routes. and so this has been an ask from the humanitarian agencies and international community to open it up to allow us to operate. because now we've had to set up an entire operation system through the egyptian red crescent in egypt. this is not usually what we would have done and it is causing a lot of challenges and that is also why progress has been slow. and because we need -- rafah cannot sustain an entire humanitarian response for 2.2 million people that were already dependent on aid and now even more so because of the level of destructions the numbers and casualties, the epic proportions of the numbers of wounded and people starving and basically thirsty. so it has been very difficult for organizations that don't have offices or registrations in egypt to find ways to operate when we have never operated through egypt before because it is the plain respon main responl to allow humanitarian access through its own borders because it occupies and besieges gaza for many, many years. so it has been an extremely challenging situation and unprecedented humanitarian response. >> how are the drivers and aid workers feeling about going in, and in what is a warzone even if there is a truce in place right now? because all truces are delicate, aren't they. >> they are delicate. and the last truce in 2014, israel broke that truce. and people are very mistrustful, gazan civilians and aid workers because we know it is very fragile, especially that we know that lot of people will try to go back to the north to see if their homes are still standing. understandably so. and that is not being allowed. so we'll have to see what that also means. because we know that previous safe routes that were identified by israel for evacuation were not safe because they were at the timered, people were detained and killed on those routes. so it is very unclear what we're stepping in to. >> what is your biggest concern right now? obviously your priority is getting aid in there, but what are you most worried about in terms of the current situation right now and what might make things worse rather than better? >> i mean, listen, things are already bad. a four day pause is not going to respond to the needs of 2.2 million people. we have to be very honest and transparent about this. this is not enough. this is almost -- i would say at a personal level almost insulting to think that doctors have to carry out extremely difficult situations, is four days for patients to recover, is four days enough to build bakeries, to rehabilitate electricity infrastructures and rebuild homes? no, i mean this is just to get some will rice, some flour in, some water, but it doesn't meet the demands of the international community. the first one to open, second to restore electricity, water and telecom lines. those are very concerning that these have not yet been turned back on. >> thank you so much and good luck with your work today under the very difficult conditions. if you would like information on how to help with humanitarian relief efforts, please go to cnn.com/impact. there is a list of vetted organizations providing assistance. now, the biden administration says that they will be watching hamas very closely to make sure that the terrorist group holds up its end of the hostage deal with israel. arlette saenz now reports. >> reporter: president biden struck an optimistic tone about the expected hostage release on friday speaking to reporters here in nantucket on thanksgiving day, he said that he was not yet ready to provide an update but would be able to do so once the first wave of hostages was released. the white house has been cleanly focused on the implementation of the deal and one big question is whether any americans would be included in that initial round of hostages that were released by hamas. it is ththe whitite housuse's expectctation thatat about thrh amamericans wowould be part of ovoverall deal, that includes t women and that 3-year-old abigail whose parents were killed in the october 7 attack. the white house has a working list of who they believe will be released on that first day. but it is unclear whether any americans would in fact be released on friday. president biden said that he was keeping his fingers crossed that that 3-year-old abigail would be part of that list. the u.s. is planning on notifying the families of the american hostages once they are departing gaza. that is according to a u.s. official. essentially what needs to happen is an american official or a trusted third party needs to set eyes on these hostages and then at that point the u.s. would be prepared to notify these families. but president biden and the white house is hopeful that this will move forward and that some hostages will be released starting friday. arlette saenz, cnn, traveling with the president in nantucket, massachusetts. and cnn has reached out to one family for whomle hostage release can't come too soon. the woman turned 36 while in captivity. she is not expected to be in the first group of hostages, but her brother told cnn yesterday that their family is happy that at least some people could be free. >> we are absolutely thrilled by the deal and the fact that we're going to see people released tomorrow. that is incredible. but on the other hand, we are waiting to see on a day by day basis to wait for a phone call to see if our loved ones are coming back. and this is just mere psychological terror in its worst form. and it is hard, but we will be resilient. just ahead, the idf and hezbollah again exchange fire across the lebanese border. we'll have an update. plus a look at the video diary of a blogger in gaza that shows life for civilians inside the enclave amid the conflict. welcome back. our top story this hour, a four day truce between israel and hamas is now in effect. other correspondent in the area reported what sounded like israeli artillery fire for a few minutes after the truce was set to begin, though it stopped a short while later. in the coming hours, 13 israeli hostages held by hamas should be released to the red cross according to the terms of the deal and israel has agreed to free 39 palestinian women and teenagers held in israeli jails and dozens more over the coming days if hamas keeps freeing israelis. israel and that mags may have gagree hamas may have agreed toa truce for now, but ben wedeman is in beirut and has the report. >> reporter: lebanese border saw some of its most intense exchanges of fire thursday between israel and hezbollah, a day after an israeli strike killed five hezbollah fighters including the son of the leader of hezbollah's parliamentary bloc. according to lebanese official news agency, there were almost two dozen individual strikes by hezbollah on israel, mostly focusing on military targets. the group claimed it fired 48 rockets on the israeli infantry base and also claimed it killed four israeli soldiers in a separate attack. israel has yet to comment. the israeli military for its part said it launched multiple air and artillery strikes on what it called hezbollah infrastructure and rocket launch sites. thursday iranian foreign minister on a two day visit to lebanon met with the hezbollah leader to consult on efforts to end the war in gaza. during his time in beirut, the foreign minister interviewed on the satellite news channel warned if the truce in gaza doesn't hold, the scope of the war will expand. and a hezbollah source said the group would hold its fire during the four day truce if israel does the same. ben wedeman, cnn, reporting from beirut. civilians in gaza have been struggling to survive as the war intensified there. one young blogger's video diary has documented the struggles and tragedies people have endured in the enclave amid the conflict. jomana karedsheh has that. >> reporter: life before the war felt like a distant memory for this blogger. there were the days when she would smile in her videos, taking her followers behind the scenes of her work in gaza. for weeks now, her posts have been about life at a time of war. >> translator: we now wake up at 5:00 a.m., we walk more than 6 kilometers to fill up a gallon of salty or fresh water. we charge our phones on the street using the solar power we can find. there is no power, no gas, no water, so we have to make due with canned foods. >> reporter: neighbors sharing the little they have to bake bread in clay ovens. and at times it was about how close death felt as bombs rained down on gaza. >> translator: this might be my last video. they dropped leaflets asking people to evacuate the area. most people fled. people were running in the streets like crazy, not knowing where to go. the situation is terrifying. god have mercy on us. >> reporter: as the war intensified in the north, the safety they were told to evacuate to the south was and i will solution. nowhere in gaza is safe she said. >> translator: death and destruction is everywhere in gaza. the occupation has no mercy on anyone. not the elderly, not the children, not the women, no one. all civilians are under fire in gaza. where are the decision makers, where is the world? gaza is being annihilated. we are dying. someone do something. enough. >> reporter: but these desperate crimes of so many haven't stopped the seemingly endless nightmare for the people of gaza where burying their dead has become their everyday. or every moment feels like it may be their last. on monday, it was killed of family members in a night of intense bombardment. her last video, the haunting words of the 27-year-old with a final message from gaza to the world. >> translator: we're humans like everyone else. we had big dreams. now our dream is if we are killed, we are a body in one piece so we can be identified buried in a grave, not body parts in a bag. when will this war end? who will remain to tell people what happened to us? what we lived through, what we've witnessed? >> reporter: jomana karedsheh, cnn, london. still ahead this hour, freedom could be hours away for a group of israeli hostages held by hamas. we'll have the latest on the truce that is helping to make it possible. plus we'll hear from a man

powering possibilities. i'm max foster in london updating you on the top story. a temporary truce between israel and a hamas faappears to be takg shape. a cnn team near the israel gaza border reported artillery and rocket fire in the first few minutes of the truce, but that didn't last long. the next steps in this complicated deal is for hamas to release 13 israeli hostages, which is expected to happen in about 4 1/2 hours. israel has agreed to free 39 palestinian women and teenagers held in israeli jails today and dozens more over the coming days if hamas keeps freeing israelis. a lieutenant colonel explains how the hostage release is supposed to happen. >> it will be tense, it will be vigilant and cautious. our troops will be the first israelis to receive hopefully in a few hours those women and children that have been held in inhumane conditions by hamas for 47 days and nights underground. and the first israeli faces that they will see will be the faces of idf personnel who will let them know hopefully that they are safe and in safe hands and will facilitate almost immediate contact with family via telephone and will then take them to medical checkup and bring them to safety in israel. >> more now from jeremy diamond. >> reporter: the first 15 minutes of that anticipated truce between israel and hamas certainly did not sound like a truce. in those first 15 minutes, we continued to hear the sounds of war coming from inside the gaza strip. we were hearing heavy weaponry being fired, we were hearing small arms fire and about 15 minutes into that truce, rocket sirens sounding in two israeli communities on the border with the gaza strip. but after that, things appeared to settle down. we did not hear any additional heavy weaponry being fired after around 7:18 a.m. local time. we did hear some sporadic gunfire apparently coming from inside the gaza strip. but we don't know of course the source of that gunfire. but for now at least, a truce appears to be settling in between israel and hamas. and that is obviously welcome news for the families of those 13 hostages who are expected to be released in the first batch of that deal between israel and hamas mediated by qatar and the united states government. 13 hostages, women and children, expected to leave the gaza strip at around 4:00 p.m. local time. we've been cautioned that that timing could certainly change as there are a lot of variables, a lot of uncertainties still building around this initial release of hostages. the first of the anticipated 50 hostages who are set to be released over the course of four days. a four day truce has been established in order to allow for the release of those hostages. israel also set to release three palestinian prisoners for every one civilian hostage released by hamas. now, what we do know is that these first days are going to be critical to see the viability of this hostage release plan. qatar which has been mediating the negotiations has been very clear that they hope that the first 50 would be a proving ground in order to allow for release of additional hostages. for every ten additional hostages that hamas releases after the first 50, israel will agree to an additional one day of a pause in fighting. but one thing a has been made very clear by israeli officials, this is not a ceasefire. this is a temporary pause in fighting and israeli officials from the prime minister to the defense minister have made very clear that they will continue to carry out this war against hamas in the gaza strip after this pause in fighting ends. the defense minister saying that fighting he expects will go on for at least two months beyond this point until they reach their goals of destroying hamas and removing it from power in gaza. jeremy diamond, cnn, sderot, israel. families have been notified of the first group set to be released. hundreds of families are waiting for word if their loved ones will be freed. danny engel is hoping his brother, sister-in-law and nieces will return safely. hamas is expected to release women and children hostages meaning danny's brother could potentially be split up from the family if they are part of the initial exchange. danny spoke with cnn about the situation. >> it is harder because thinking that my brother may not be coming now if at all because my brother was with the weapon on that saturday morning. and he shot at -- i think he tried to defend his family. and we are not certain about what is happening with him. we're not certain of anything, but with him, it is harder. >> doctors in gaza tell cnn that they hope the truce will allow for hospital patients and staff to safely evacuate from north and central gaza. information trickling suggests the number of people kill in the enclave continues to climb, that is according to hamas authorities who say the death toll now stands at more than 14,850. and an injured palestinian man evacuated to egypt described life in the enclave during the war. >> translator: we pray for martyr dom. but this, this fear, i can't describe it. we died every night in this war. you hear the sound about to strike. we don't know where it would hit. a missile destroys a block. so imagine what happens when we hit with three missiles. palestinian health ministry says destruction to communications has made it difficult to collect the most up-to-date iorm hospitals. qatar was instrumental in mediating the hostage release deal and experts say that is because they have contacts many others just don't. ahead, why qatar has become a crucial mediator

time in seven weeks, guns are silent in gaza as a temporary truce between israel and hamas appears to be holding. a cnn team near the israel-gaza border reported artillery and rocket fire in the first few minutes of the pause of fighting but that subdued quickly. hamas is expected to free 13 israeli hostages today and israel set to release 39 palestinians held in israeli jails. egypt says at least 98 trucks have already entered gaza this morning with more than 100 still expected to come. qatar's lead negotiator says it took very intense work to broker the hostage release deal. brian todd has more on how qatar became the central mediator. >> reporter: a pivotal player in getting the hostages freed from that hamas activity is a tiny emirate with about a quarter of the population of new york city. qatar, an oil rich nation on a peninsula in the persian gulf ruled by a 43-year-old sheikh who took over when his father abdicated ten years ago. analysts say qatar has been indisp indispensable. >> qatar is central, it has relationships with broad range of terrorist groups throughout the region, unsavory regimes. >> reporter: qatar was instrumental in getting four hostages, two israelis and two americans, released about two weeks after the kicurrent war started. >> qatar has had a long role in these kind of prisoner negotiations. most recently playing an important role in getting five american prisoners released from iran. there was $6 billion of iranian funds that were sent to qatar. >> reporter: that deal took place in september. analysts say mediation has long been one of guitar's most marketable skills, specifically its ability to be an interlocutor between international players at odds. >> they are seen as being fair, they do have leverage over hamas. >> reporter: for years qatar has given sanctuary to figures like hamas' top political leader and also qatar's financial support for hamas and palestinian citizens in gaza has been substantial. >> the state of qatar funding hamas for many years underwriting the salaries of hamas and palestinian employees in gaza. >> reporter: but qatar has also been one of america's clothes allies in the middle east, not only supplying oil and gas, but also allowing the u.s. to maintain the air base headquarters of u.s. central command. >> we ran operations not only in iraq, but in afghanistan. out of there, we continue to run operations. >> reporter: qatar was crucial in facilitating america's 2021 evacuation from afghanistan. it has maintained back channel contacts with israel while at the same time having relationships with groups like the taliban and al qaeda and sharing an enormous natural gas field with iran, all of which allow qatar to have relations like no one else ask. and qatar is willing do things over hostages or captured militants that the u.s. and others won't. >> united states typically in the past has not paid ransoms, but qatar has no qualms about it. >> reporter: analysts say when tensions in the middle east subside, qatar will be under significant pressure as it already has been from some members of congress to sever its relationship with hamas. but they say it is an open question right now whether qatari leaders will actually take that step. brian todd, cnn, washington. now high profile men including the mayor of new york city and jamie foxx and others
