It begins with a phone call with a location.
Once the details are received, a team from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) sets off in vehicles marked with the humanitarian organisation’s logo to pick up the hostages in Gaza.
Israeli military and medical personnel are also assembled at several different locations, waiting to bring them home.
“This is more than just a drive,” says ICRC spokesperson Sarah Davies.
“These operations may seem simple, but in fact they are very complex and require rigorous security measures to minimise the risks to those involved.”
The ICRC, which acts as a neutral intermediary in the handover, assembles a team of specialists, some of whom have been involved in similar operations in the past – though this is more challenging than most.
There are some details that the group cannot speak about publicly because of concerns it could compromise the security of the operation.
Davies says they have mapped out alternative routes to get to different locations in Gaza, knowing that the “safest route can change” at any time.
Among their biggest concerns are the dangers posed by unexploded ordnance, destroyed and damaged infrastructure, and large crowds with “heightened emotions”.

Benford’s Law is a mathematical principle that states that in many sets of numerical data, the frequency of occurrence of the first digit is not evenly distributed. Instead, numbers are more likely to start with a lower digit, such as 1, than with a higher digit, such as 9. This counterintuitive pattern has been used in various fields, including fraud detection.In their 2015 book “An Introduction to Benford’s Law,” authors Berger and Hill explore the applications of this law in detecting fraudulent activities. By analyzing financial data, they demonstrate how deviations from Benford’s Law can indicate potential fraud or manipulation. For example, if a company’s financial statements show an unusually high frequency of numbers starting with a certain digit, it may raise suspicions of fraudulent reporting.
Princeton University Press published this comprehensive guide to Benford’s Law, providing readers with the tools and techniques to apply this mathematical concept in real-world scenarios. By understanding the principles behind this law, individuals and organizations can enhance their fraud detection capabilities and safeguard against financial misconduct.
