Three out of six kidnapped Red Cross members and a Syrian Red Crescent volunteer have been "released safe and sound" in Syria, the ICRC says.
The head of ICRC's operations for the Middle East, Robert Mardini, broke the news via a tweet.
The organisation says it is awaiting information on the remaining three.
The workers were abducted on Sunday near Saraqeb, in Idlib province, where they were delivering aid and assessing health facilities.
