'These days are horrible for us,' says Yafit Zailer, a family member of hostages held in the Gaza Strip. As a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas draws near, families are anxiously waiting for news of their loved ones' release. Among the hostages are Shiri and Yarden Bibas and their two young children, who have been held captive for 15 months. The Bibas family was supposed to be released in November 2023, but the ceasefire fell apart. The families are pleading for an end to the war and the safe return of their loved ones.
