'Bring Them Home' buggy display reminds the world of the children held hostage

A powerful installation in Parliament Square on Sunday consists of empty buggies in which sit images of missing youngsters taken by Hamas

Dozens of buggies were parked in London’s Parliament Square earlier today as a powerful reminder of the children being held hostage by Hamas.

Each empty buggy displayed an image of one of the children taken by during Hamas during its terrorist attacks on 7 October along with the words Bring Them Home to raise awareness of those still missing.

Among them are nine-month-old Kfir, his brother Ariel, four, and Aviv, age two.

The flash installation, which took place at midday, was the brainchild of four London-based mothers who are either Israeli or have family and friends there: Atalia Marcovich, Keren Shefet, Alicia Zue-Szpiro and Mor Tubin.

Atalia, who is from Israel, told Jewish News: “Since October 7, all of our minds have been with those children and their families and what trauma these children have gone, and continue to go through.

“As mums, we wanted to show that we are grieving with those families and show our solidarity and felt using buggies was a symbolic way to do this, keeping the images of these children in the forefront of people’s minds.”

The four women are now hoping to take the installation to other big cities abroad. “We want to reach out to Jewish communities across the world.”

“As Israelis, we feel far from home and just wanted to do something to help, so this is our little way of raising awareness for these kids. Our message is simple: bring them home.”
