Everyone Counts

The

Educational Toolkit
On October 7, 2023,
251 men, women, and children were taken hostage from Israel to Gaza.
Only 161 survived and returned home alive
through rescue missions and ceasefire agreements.

On January 26, 2026, the last slain hostage held by Hamas was returned home to Israel.

Every person counts.
