There are an estimated 161 hostages still being held in the Gaza Strip, Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy has said.

That figure includes 146 Israelis and 15 foreigners, and 126 men and 35 women.

Levy said there are still four children under the age of 18 being held, and 10 people who are 75 or over. It’s not clear how many of the hostages are soldiers, he said.

“We want to get all of the hostages home, we’re committed to that pledge, there will be no one left behind,” Levy said at a news conference, adding that "as long as there is a serious offer on the table" it will consider extending the current ceasefire deal to ensure more hostages are released.

We are currently in the sixth and final day of the truce between Israel and Hamas, and there are hopes that the agreement could be extended.
