A year in captivity: Faces of 97 hostages who still haven't returned home to Israel

As Israel marks the anniversary of the Hamas attack, it's thought that 97 hostages are still yet to return home.

While some have been killed, rescued by IDF forces, or returned home in an exchange, many remain unaccounted for.

According to the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which represents the families of those who were taken, 97 of the roughly 250 people taken hostage during the attack on 7 October 2023, remain in Hamas custody. Of those 97, eight are believed to be Thai nationals.

It's not known how many have died in captivity. In some cases, deaths have been reported, but their bodies have not been returned home.

Families are still waiting desperately for news of their loved ones, and are doing everything they can to keep the issue in the public eye.
