Hamas displays child hostages' coffins in Gaza, drawing global condemnation

Hamas has been condemned for displaying the coffins of child hostages in Gaza, an act described as "abhorrent" by the UN rights chief. The coffins contained the remains of Israeli hostages, including two young boys and their mother. The coffins were handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross by armed Hamas fighters and later transferred to Israeli authorities. Israelis mourned the deceased as they were returned home, with many gathering to pay their respects. This event follows a long conflict that began with the October 7 attacks, where Hamas abducted numerous hostages. The situation remains tense, with ongoing negotiations for the release of more hostages amid a fragile ceasefire.
