'A few nights ago I heard her calling for me,' says medical secretary Ira Ariev. 'I woke up in such a panic, because I really heard her voice.'

The mother-of-two was talking about her youngest daughter, Karina, and while she undoubtedly recognised her distinctive voice she knew her girl was not in the room.

Because the 20-year-old was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7 and is still in Gaza today, almost certainly inside one of its many squalid, cramped tunnels dozens of feet underground.

It is hard to imagine how a mother could get through just one day knowing her daughter is held by monsters who gleefully broadcast the rape and slaughter of 1,200 men, women and children that day.
