Dozens of people gather in Madrid to demand the freeing of around 200 hostages that were taken when Hamas militants stormed into Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7, killing at least 1,400 people. "It hurts my soul just to say the barbarities they did, but what we want is for them to go back home safe and sound", said David, one of the protesters. Israel's retaliatory bombing campaign has killed more than 4,300 Palestinians, mainly civilians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
