Pictures of Israeli children held hostage by Hamas after they were kidnapped during the terror attacks have been projected onto some of London’s famous buildings.

The images were produced by the #BringThemBack campaign which has raised awareness of their plight with similar displays in cities including New York, Los Angeles and Miami.

Among the children pictured was nine-month-old Kfir Bibas who was taken with his mother and his four-year-old brother.

A spokesperson from the campaign said: “The calculated kidnap of nine-month-old Kfir and other children has shocked and sickened the humane world.

“Our hearts and those of all good people around the globe bleed at the thought of what those beautiful children and the nearly 200 kidnapped innocents are going through.

“We are determined to keep their faces in the public consciousness and won’t rest until each and every one of the hostages are home. We hope that this campaign at prominent locations across London and the rest of the world encourages all to join this effort.”

As well as projecting the images on prominent buildings, the group has also used major billboard signs and driven mobile billboards around the capital so they can be seen by as many people as possible and not be removed.

Footage shared on social media recently has seen posters demanding the return of the hostages defaced or removed.

At least six Britons were killed in the Hamas attacks. At least 1,400 people died and thousands more were injured.

At least 2,778 Palestinians have died and thousands more wounded as Israel launched air strikes on Gaza and cut off fuel, water, food and medical supplies.
