As per the ceasefire deal, Israel says the remains of another hostage handed over by Hamas have been identified.
The militant group continues to search for bodies under the rubble as it urges more aid to be allowed in and claims Israel is violating the agreement.
The latest confirmed victim in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Eliyahu Margalit's body identified after forensic tests.
The 76-year-old was taken from stables where he worked during the Hamas raid on the October 7th
Found in rubble by bulldozers, Margalit is the tenth body recovered and handed over since the ceasefire agreement.
The painstaking search is taking longer than expected because of damage and the lack of machinery to dig trenches.
The Red Cross were seen working on the salvage effort.
The militant group have told those mediators some bodies are in Israeli controlled areas.
Sixty-eight thousand are estimated to have died in the Strip during the two-year war.
Both the Red Cross and the Palestinian Bureau of Statistics believe thousands more are still missing.
Aid trucks are coming through but Hamas say it is not enough and Israel is violating the ceasefire agreement.
An average of around fifty trucks per day have been crossing since the peace deal last week, but under that agreement around ten times that number should be entering Gaza.
Israel says enough food is getting through accusing Hamas of stealing it,which they deny.
This bakery in the strip will help with the famine declared in Gaza.
Over a quarter of a million rolls are coming off the production line each day.
Tom Fletcher, UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs visited the bakery and said:
"We can now get the flour, the sugar, the yeast in, but also importantly, the fuel that actually motors these machines. And it just demonstrates that when a ceasefire holds, we can really quickly rebuild, we can get the food production working again. And this is going to head off the starvation that we've seen."
Medical care facilities are another post-war concern as Gazans make their way along the coastal roads trying to return to their homes and restart their lives.
UNFPA - the agency for reproductive health - say mothers and newborns are not getting the care they need.
They're helping more than fifty thousand pregnant and breastfeeding women suffering from acute malnutrition.
They say one in three births are "high risk"two-thirds of babies born in Gaza are premature.
The UN says facilities are not in place for new mums and their children.
The co-ordinator hopes the world will live-up to its promises.
UNFPA Deputy Executive Director Andrew Saberton: "We must always look to restore those hospitals. Ninety-four percent of hospitals in Gaza have been destroyed or structures damaged, and of the 50 percent that are in operation, they're mainly there for trauma only. How can we possibly allow this to happen in 2025?"
Saberton asked saying nothing has prepared him for what he has seen in Gaza.
