Visiting hostage family members met with a number of Labour parliamentarians and party figures during their time in Liverpool as guests of LFI and the Hostages and Missing Families Forum UK.

In these meetings, a number of parliamentarians – many elected for the first time in July – heard harrowing testimony of the experiences of the hostage families and their relatives and discussed how they could help to keep the plight of the 101 remaining hostages at the forefront of the agenda as the international community works towards a ceasefire in Gaza.
