A vigil for the more than 100 people who remain unaccounted for after being kidnapped by Hamas in October has taken place in central London.

Tuesday’s event, which was organised by groups including the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council, was addressed by family members of the hostages and Jewish religious figures.
