As Avera Mengistu, an Israeli taken captive by Hamas in 2014, marked his tenth year in captivity, a rally was planned in Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square. Mengistu, along with others like Hadar Goldin and Hisham al-Sayed, has been held by Hamas for years, with little attention from the media or aid organizations.
Despite suffering and abandonment, Mengistu’s family continues to call for his release, urging the Israeli government and world leaders to take action. The rally aims to show support for the hostages and their families, shedding light on their prolonged captivity and seeking public awareness.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, fighting for Mengistu’s freedom, emphasized the need for continued efforts in bringing him back home. The event will give voice to the pain felt by those affected by this ongoing crisis, reminding the world of the human lives at stake.
Join the cause, stand in solidarity, and help bring these hostages back to their loved ones after years of suffering in captivity.
