Desperate Bedouin Family Seeks Updates on their Teenagers Kidnapped in Gaza

Naeema Zyadna anxiously waits for news about her children, 16-year-old Aisha and 18-year-old Bilal, who were taken hostage by Hamas. Although a temporary truce deal between Israel and Hamas was initiated last week and stated that under-19s should be released, her children have not yet been freed. Only a few child hostages remain in Gaza, and around 40 have been returned home so far. Naeema hopes that her children's names will be on the next hostage list. The Zyadna family lives in a Bedouin village near Rahat in the southern Negev desert. The Bedouin community is often overlooked, but they are proud of their heritage and culture. Naeema relies on her faith for strength and hopes that Allah will decide the fate of her husband and children. Naeema and Ali Zyadna plead for the return of their loved ones. They are desperate for Aisha and Bilal to be brought home safely and urge both Hamas and the Israeli government to prioritize their release. The family is enduring hardship and emotional anguish while waiting for their children's return.
