Jerusalem Post: “Orange balloons released around the world in memory of Bibas family”

Ahead of the funeral of murdered hostages Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas, orange balloons were released in memory of the family in cities around the world.

In Brussels, hundreds gathered with orange and yellow balloons to pay tribute to the Bibas family. The European Jewish Congress, which had representatives at the event, said that the loss of the hostages had “profoundly shaken us all.”

“In their memory, we intensify our urgent call for the immediate release of all hostages still held in Gaza,” the EJC said on Twitter.
