Israelis are gathering at memorial events to mark two years since Hamas's attacks.
Israelis are gathering at memorial events to mark two years since Hamas's attacks on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage. We hear from hostage families and survivors of the attacks.
We also speak to Palestinians who left Gaza when the war began, to hear how their lives have changed over the last two years.
