Polish citizen among captives released from Gaza

Poland's foreign ministry said on Saturday that a Polish citizen was among the captives released from Gaza.

"We welcome the information about the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, which allowed the release of the first group of hostages, including a Polish citizen, and increased supplies of humanitarian aid to the enclave," the ministry said in a statement.

"At the same time, Poland continues to firmly demand that Israel consent to the safe departure from the Gaza Strip by other Polish citizens," the statement added.
