The mother of freed British hostage Emily Damari has thanked those who “never stopped fighting for Emily throughout this horrendous ordeal” after she was released by Hamas in the first step of a ceasefire agreement.
Ms Damari, 28, was held in captivity for more than 15 months in what was described as “ongoing torture” for her family, and her release on Sunday was welcomed by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer as “wonderful and long-overdue news after months of agony”.
