Romi Gonen, Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher appear to be in stable health after spending more than a year in Hamas captivity.

Thirty-three people were set to be released during the first phase of the agreement, including female soldiers and civilians, children and men over 50.

Three hostages held by Hamas are expected to be released Sunday after 471 days in captivity as part of a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group.

Carrying her small daughter, an Israeli mother stood amid a crowd of people next to the helipad of the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv, which on Sunday received the three former hostages released in a ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas.

Three women held hostage by Hamas reunited with their families in an emotional moment after they were freed under the truce deal. Romi Gonen, 24, Doron Steinbrecher, 31, and Emily Damari, 28 were handed over to the International Committee for the Red Cross in Gaza on Sunday afternoon.

Doron Steinbrecher, Emily Damari and Romi Gonen were the three female Israeli hostages taken into the care of the Red Cross in Gaza City during the first phase of the historic Israel-Hamas ceasefire.
