Agony and Hope for Hostage Families
Another two hostages have been released by Hamas, more than two weeks after they were taken from Kibbutz Nir Oz, less than a mile from the Gaza border. Lyse speaks to the BBC’s Anna Foster in northern Israel from her current base in the south of the country to discuss the hostage situation. We hear from the family of a hostage still being held and the anguish felt by his family. Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens, even though aid is slowly starting to trickle in.
