British hostage Emily Damari's mum breaks silence as Hamas release daughter


Emily Damari, the last remaining British hostage in Gaza, has now been released by Hamas.

The 28-year-old British-Israeli had been in captivity for over a year.

Her mum Mandy Damari said: “After 471 days Emily is finally home.

“I want to thank everyone who never stopped fighting for Emily throughout this horrendous ordeal, and who never stopped saying her name. In Israel, Britain, the United States, and around the world. Thank you for bringing Emily home.

“While Emily’s nightmare in Gaza is over, for too many other families the impossible wait continues. Every last hostage must be released, and humanitarian aid must be provided to the hostages who are still waiting to come home.
