Frustrated relatives of Israeli captives in Gaza meet Herzog

Days after two US-Israeli women were released by Hamas, Israeli President Isaac Herzog invited representatives of the captives' families to the presidential residency in Jerusalem.

Among the representatives was Michal, the relative of three-year-old Abigail, who came holding her picture.

"Both of her parents and her two brothers were murdered. The neighbours noticed her, took her and then they too were kidnapped. I want the whole world to know that a three-year-old girl, who no longer has a father, mother and brothers, is there in Gaza and we don't know how she is doing," Michal said.

"We feel like no one is listening to us. We want to raise public awareness everywhere; we want the world to at least listen to us."

Israel says Hamas took 222 people captive when it attacked communities near the Gaza Strip on 7 October, though that number may be higher, as the fate of several others is not yet known.
