Qatar confirmed on Sunday morning that the ceasefire has officially begun in Gaza.
As one of the main mediators of the ceasefire, Qatar's announcement comes after concerns Israel would delay the start of the proposed ceasefire. Doha is also expected to pass on the names of the captives, scheduled to be released by Hamas and other Palestinian groups, to Israel.
