WASHINGTON (AP) — Families of American hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip are describing their anguish and calling on the U.S. and Israeli governments to do all they can to bring home their loved ones home. The family members are in Washington on Wednesday, where they are making their case to journalists and to members of Congress and Biden administration officials. Among those present are relatives of 4-year-old Abigail Edan, who was released on Sunday. One couple says that not knowing if and when their son will be freed has been “a living hell.”
