The mother of British hostage Emily Damari, who is set to be released by Hamas, said she won't believe her daughter is free until she sees her. Mandy Damari has faced an agonising wait of 471 days to be reunited with her daughter after the 28-year-old was kidnapped during the October 7 attacks in 2023. She is set to be released among two other female hostages after Hamas revealed the names of three women being let go in the ceasefire deal with Israel.
