captivity

Within hours, 10 of the 18-strong assault team were dead and the remaining eight were in captivity.

That feeling has been echoed by many hostage families, worried that their relatives will die in captivity as the war grinds on, or be killed in Israeli airstrikes.

Since then, Israel has restated its aim to destroy Hamas and recover the hostages, of whom 54 remain in captivity and 23 are thought to still be alive.

In the weeks after learning of her father's captivity, Yulia used Facebook to contact another daughter of an imprisoned Ukrainian and the pair launched a new organisation to campaign for all the civilians' release.

Some 54 of those captured during the attack remain in captivity, including 31 the Israeli military says are dead.
