BALTIMORE — As the war in Israel rages on, Baltimore area residents are banding together to call for the release of hostages being held in Gaza.
Members of the Jewish community have been gathering every Sunday for the last five weeks to host a demonstration in hopes that the government will intervene.
The organizers tell WJZ that the objective is to get the hostages released, and they will continue to gather every Sunday until that happens.
They will be marching together until the hostages come home.
“People need to use their voices because the hostages cannot,” participant Randi Framson said.
More than 100 hostages are being held by Hamas in Gaza.
The demonstrators read the names of each hostage, and walk a mile together in their honor.
“These are not only Israeli innocent women, children, men and soldiers, these are people from all over the world, all different nationalities,” Framson said.
