Mother of American hostage held by Hamas asks for global support to mark 100 days of captivity
Fox News
On October 7, there were around 240 hostages taken by Hamas from the Nova music festival. Some have been released in a cease-fire deal, but many like Hersh Goldberg-Polin, are still being held captive.
The Bring Hersh Home campaign is launching an effort called "Hostages on the Heart." Goldberg has asked the public on January 14, 2023, to write the number "100" on a piece of tape and stick it to their shirts near their hearts, just as she has done for so many days and will continue to do until her son returns home. Ashlyn Messier is a writer for Fox News Digital.
"For 100 days, I have sadly had to repeat the same custom every morning, watching the numbers grow day after day as I tape them to my shirt," Rachel Goldberg said in a press release obtained by Fox News. "I don’t want to do this for one more day, but for as long as Hersh remains stolen, I will continue to tape the number of days he has been gone to my chest. I ask that for day 100 you join me, helping us continue to raise awareness that over 130 hostages are still suffering in captivity and must be immediately released."
On the day, the number will be representative of how many days her son and many others have been in captivity.
