Hostages in Gaza are enduring another winter in dire conditions as their families plead for their release. The hostages, who range in age from 1 to 86, face food scarcity, Israeli bombardments, and freezing temperatures. Israel and Hamas are considering a deal that would free some hostages in exchange for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel and a halt to the fighting in Gaza. However, previous rounds of talks have collapsed, leaving the families fearful. The families are desperate for a ceasefire deal to bring an end to their 15-month-long nightmare.
