Palestinian prisoners and detainees released by Israel on Monday have been sharing their stories.
The BBC's Middle East correspondent, Lucy Williamson, has worked with freelancers in Gaza to speak to them.

He was one of almost 2,000 prisoners released and exchanged for Israeli hostages under the first phase of the ceasefire deal.
Elsewhere in Gaza, more aid is reportedly getting into the Strip with food becoming more accessible and prices dropping.
