Thousands are expected to march through London today, joining a worldwide call to bring the hostages home.

Coinciding with the annual Israel Day Parade held in New York, Jewish and non-Jewish organisations are being invited to march in delegations alongside family members of the hostages. Individuals who are not part of an organisation are also able to take part.

Orit Eyal-Fibeesh, from 7/10 Human Chain, one of the organisers, said: “The message is that this is a global and united call to bring the hostages home now. The feeling is that time is running out – or even that time has run out – as fewer and fewer hostages are left.”

“We are really concerned for those who are still alive, especially for the girls, but for all of them. Stories are emerging of them being raped regularly. There is a real sense of urgency now.”
