Bipin Joshi's body handed over to Israel; Nepali hostage confirmed to have died in captivity

Gaza: Tragedy struck the family of Bipin Joshi, a Nepalese Hindu student, as it was confirmed that he died while held captive by Hamas. Joshi had been kidnapped during the October 7, 2023, attack in Israel.

The recent release of 20 hostages by Hamas following a ceasefire deal had initially brought relief and joy to families. However, for Bipin’s family, the news turned tragic when he was identified among four deceased hostages returned on Monday.
