THE anxious family of the only child hostages in Gaza still have no idea if they are alive or dead. Ariel Bibas, five, and his brother Kfir, two, and their parents are on the list of hostages to be released in the first six-week phase of the ceasefire.

But relatives have received no information since the ceasefire began on Sunday - the day after Kfir’s second birthday. Ahead of the deal, his cousin Eylon Keshet, 31, said: “It would be the best present we could have for the deal to be agreed and they return home.”.

They were delighted it went ahead and three hostages including Brit Emily Damari, 28, were released. But Eylon today spoke of the family’s mixed emotions with no fresh news about the boys and their parents Yarden, 35, and Shiri, 33. IT worker Eylon told The Sun: “We haven’t heard anything.

"It is such mixed emotions for us because we are extremely happy for the families of the other families. They have suffered so much as well.”. The boys’ aunt Ofri Bibas Levy, 38, added: “The only thing we know is what was published – that the four of them are supposed to be released in the first stage of the deal in the next 42 days.

“We don’t know how or when – it’s just another seven weeks of nightmare. “The wait is unbearable.”. Another 30 women, children and men aged over 50 and are due to be released in the coming weeks. They include the Bibas family but relatives have not had proof of life for months for accountant Yarden – and even longer for Siri and the boys.
