'I can never be complete again', says mother of Nova festival victim
Two years have passed since the Hamas attack on the Nova music festival, where hundreds of people were killed after fighters stormed the site.
On 7 October, Hamas gunmen crossed the border from Gaza and attacked dozens of sites killing around 1,200 people and taking more than 200 others hostage.
Bereaved families and survivors have gathered at the former festival site which has now been transformed into a memorial - garnished with flowers, tributes and candles.
"I can never be happy again", said Orit Baron, the mother of Yuval Baron who was killed alongside her fiancé Moshe Shuva. The couple have been buried next to each other, she said.
At least 67,173 people have been killed in Israel's subsequent military campaign in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
