Families of Hamas Hostages Call for Renewed Efforts on Anniversary of Abductions

One year after the abductions, families urge global leaders to secure the release of over 100 hostages still held in Gaza.

October 7 marks one year since over 250 people were taken hostage by Hamas, with families still awaiting their return.
Despite international diplomatic efforts, a deal for the release of 101 remaining hostages, including Americans, remains elusive.
Families express frustration with both Israeli and U.S. governments, citing a lack of effective strategies and accountability.
Parents of hostages, like the Chen family, continue to advocate for a 'Plan B' as current negotiations stall.
Hostage families hold onto hope through personal rituals and public protests, urging global leaders to act decisively.
