Massive projections of images of Israeli civilians taken hostage by Hamas, including infants, women and the elderly, were displayed outside the UN headquarters in New York, calling for the freeing of the captives in Gaza.
A group of Israelis living in the US displayed pictures of the hostages, including Ariel, 4, and Yaffa, 85, at the UN headquarters. Messages such as “Hamas is ISIS,” “Bring them home now,” and “Abducting Israeli civilians is a crime against humanity” were projected at the UN’s main building. The US-based Command Centre for the family members of the captives demanded the return of all the captives, noting that keeping them hostage violates international law.
It called for the rapid opening of a humanitarian corridor so that supplies like food and medication can be distributed. The Command Centre also urged world leaders, notably those from the Arab countries, to take action.
