Families of Gaza hostages face ongoing uncertainty and distress

Families of hostages in Gaza continue to face uncertainty as the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas approaches its end. Many hostages, including Edan Alexander, remain unaccounted for, leaving their families anxious and desperate for news. Despite the release of some hostages, negotiations for a second phase have not yet begun. There are still 27 hostages believed to be alive and eligible for release, while families are urging the Israeli government to expedite talks. The situation remains tense, with recent videos released by Hamas adding to the distress of families. They are calling for immediate action rather than further discussions, as they await the return of their loved ones.
