This appeal comes after Hamas released a video showing her alive.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I saw that she was in stable condition \u200cbut I \u200cam very worried about her,&#8221; said her mother, Keren Schem, at a press \u200bconference. She held a photo of \u2063her daughter, who was taken\u2063 hostage \u200cat a dance party along with many \u2062others, and begged the world to bring her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-to-visit-israel\/\" title=\"Biden's Israel Visit\">baby <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/big-news-coming-out-of-pennsylvania-trump-tweets-very-big-illegal-ballot-drop\/\" title=\"\u201cBig News Coming Out Of Pennsylvania\u201d- Trump Tweets: \u201cVery Big Illegal Ballot Drop\u201d\">back home<\/a><\/a>. &#8220;She only went to a party, to a\u200d festival party, to have some fun and now she&#8217;s in Gaza.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The video released by Hamas on \u200bMonday shows Mia\u200b Schem, with her injured arm being treated by a medical worker. In the footage, she identifies herself and urgently requests to be reunited with her family.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u200d reported that 199 hostages were taken to Gaza during the\u200d militants&#8217; raid, resulting\u200c in the largest number of casualties in a \u2064single day in Israel&#8217;s history, with 1,300 people \u2064killed. This video of Schem is the first evidence of life released by Hamas since the attack. It comes ahead of \u2063an \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hamas-releases-first-hostage-video-family-begs-world-to-intervene\/\" title=\"Hamas shares initial hostage video, pleads for global intervention.\">anticipated major ground operation<\/a> by \u200dIsraeli forces in\u2063 Gaza, \u2062where they have\u2063 been bombarding the area \u2064for days, causing the death \u2063of over 2,700 Gazans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is psychological warfare,&#8221; stated an Israeli Army spokesman \u2064regarding the video. &#8220;While our main goal is to \u2063dismantle Hamas, rescuing\u200b the hostages remains a top priority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military has assured constant communication\u200c with Schem&#8217;s family and is utilizing all available intelligence and operational \u2063measures to secure the\u200b release of the captives. However, \u2063the hostages&#8217; unknown locations in Gaza pose a \u2064significant challenge to any rescue\u200b operation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Now she is in Gaza, and she \u200bis not the only one,&#8221; Keren Schem emphasized. &#8220;There are many children, babies, old people, and even Holocaust \u200dsurvivors who were kidnapped at this party. This is a crime against humanity, and we must all come together to stop this terror\u2062 and bring everybody back home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>France&#8217;s foreign ministry \u200bcondemned the video as vile and revealed that 21 French \u200dnationals were\u200d killed, with 11 still missing. They \u2062suspect that several of the missing individuals are hostages of Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to \u2063the video, White House national security spokesman John Kirby expressed his certainty that the female hostage appeared to be under duress. He stated that the United States is working tirelessly to secure \u2062the release of all\u2062 the hostages, emphasizing the urgency of reuniting them with their families.<\/p>\n<p>(Reporting by James Mackenzie, Roleen Tafakji, and\u200b Rami Amichay; \u2064additional reporting by John \u2063Irish in\u200b Paris and\u200b Susan Heavey in Washington;\u200b editing by David Gregorio, \u200dAlexandra Hudson)<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How can the international\u2064 community and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blue-states-turn-on-biden-over-border-crisis\/\" title=\"Blue states are becoming increasingly critical of President Biden's handling of the border crisis.\">humanitarian organizations assist<\/a>\u200d in securing Mia Schem&#8217;s safe release?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  E taken by Hamas during their surprise attack last week, \u2062with many being released or rescued since then. However, Mia Schem remains captive, and her family is \u2062growing increasingly\u200c desperate for \u2063her safe return.<\/p>\n<p>The ordeal began when Mia, a French-Israeli woman, attended\u200d a dance party\u200b in Israel. \u200cLittle did she\u2063 know that instead of a night of fun and enjoyment,\u2063 she would find herself\u2064 caught in the middle\u200b of a vicious attack. Hamas militants stormed the\u200d venue and abducted\u200b numerous partygoers, including Mia.<\/p>\n<p>Since her capture, Mia&#8217;s family \u200chas been living \u200da \u2064nightmare. The uncertainty surrounding\u200b her welfare, coupled with the distressing video released by Hamas, where she clearly appears to be injured, has\u2063 left the family filled with anguish and worry. Her mother, Keren Schem,\u200d spoke\u2063 at a press conference,\u2062 displaying a\u200c photo of her daughter and pleading for her safe return. With tears in her\u200d eyes, she emphasized that Mia&#8217;s only\u200b intention was to\u200b have fun at a festival party, but now she finds herself trapped in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The video released by Hamas on Monday provides a \u200bglimpse into \u2063the condition Mia is \u2062currently in. With her injured arm being treated by a \u200bmedical worker, she manages\u2062 to convey her identity and makes an\u2062 impassioned plea to be reunited with her family. It is clear that she is in\u200c need of immediate help and that her life is in danger.<\/p>\n<p>Israel has reported that \u200ba\u200b significant number of hostages have \u2064been released or rescued following the attack. However, \u200dMia&#8217;s captivity continues, and\u200c time\u200c is of \u200cthe essence. It is crucial that the \u2062international community, governments, and humanitarian \u200corganizations \u200dcome together to\u2062 secure Mia&#8217;s safe release.<\/p>\n<p>This incident highlights the ongoing conflict between\u2064 Israel and Hamas, which has left innocent individuals like Mia caught in the crossfire. It is a tragic reminder\u200c of the toll that violence takes on civilian lives, and the urgent need for a peaceful \u2063resolution to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/azerbaijan-attacks-armenian-forces-raising-threat-of-war\/\" title=\"Azerbaijan's assault on Armenian troops escalates war risk.\">long-standing conflicts<\/a> in \u200cthe region.<\/p>\n<p>Mia&#8217;s family is appealing to the compassion and humanity of those who can intervene and help bring their daughter \u2064back home.
