The Israeli army announced that the Red Cross had delivered four coffins containing the remains of deceased hostages.

Earlier, Israeli authorities said the Red Cross was on its way to a meeting point in southern Gaza to receive several coffins of deceased hostages.

The transfer of more dead hostages comes after an Israeli military agency said it would halve the number of trucks allowed to bring humanitarian aid into devastated Gaza, over concerns that Hamas was returning the remains of slain hostages at a slower pace than agreed upon.

The hostages' families and supporters expressed dismay that only four of the 28 bodies were returned last Monday, according to the Associated Press.

In a social media post, US President Donald Trump expressed concern that so few of the dead hostages had been returned and did not mention Israel's halving of aid flows to the Strip.
