About 129 hostages remain unaccounted for, with at least 34 of them presumed to be dead. The attack triggered Israel to launch a military offensive in Gaza, where more than 32,000 people have been killed. According to the UN, about 300,000 Gazans are facing famine.
Harel, the niece of a hostage, Michel Nisenbaum, expressed the dire situation saying, 'If he's alive, he's probably dying, you can't live with Crohn's without treatment.' She called for the British government to mediate for a hostage deal.
Chief rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis highlighted the somber mood, 'How different this Passover will be, from all other Passovers [...] but as we approach this Passover, our joy is incomplete.'
