Talks to secure another ceasefire that would include the release of dozens more of the remaining hostages, resumed in Egypt on Sunday.

People rally outside Israel's parliament on April 7 for the immediate release of the hostages who were kidnapped by Hamas militants.

The gunmen also seized 253 hostages, including children and elderly, civilians and soldiers. Around half of them were released as part of a brief truce deal in late November. "It's above politics. It's above religion, it's a humanitarian issue and that's what we're here to shout today," she added.
