A mother with terminal brain cancer is desperately hoping to reunite with her daughter, who was kidnapped by Hamas militants in Israel. The conflict has led to over 1,200 casualties and around 250 hostages. Efforts to free the hostages have seen little progress, with divisions in Israel over prioritizing ending the conflict or rescuing the captives. Families are anguished, fearing for the well-being of their loved ones in captivity, particularly the possibility of sexual abuse. As time passes, the situation remains dire, with ongoing negotiations yielding few results.
