Israeli authorities said earlier that the Red Cross was on its way to a meeting point in southern Gaza to pick up “several coffins” of deceased hostages.
The transfer of more deceased hostages comes after an Israeli military agency said it would halve the number of trucks allowed to bring humanitarian aid into devastated Gaza, following concerns that the militant group was returning the remains of dead hostages more slowly than agreed.
Families of hostages and their supporters expressed dismay that only four of the 28 bodies were returned on Monday.
US president Donald Trump also expressed concern in a social media post that too few of the dead hostages have been returned.
He made no mention of Israel halving the flow of aid into the territory.
