The mothers of the youngest female hostages today make an impassioned plea from their daughters' bedrooms for negotiators to finally get the deal done to 'bring back our girls'.
Teenagers Naama Levy, Daniela Gilboa, Karina Ariev, Liri Albag, and Agam Berger have now been held captive in Gaza for over 150 days and time is running out to save them.
Diplomats this week are crashing out a ceasefire agreement to try to free them along with dozens of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners before Ramadan on Sunday.
Negotiations hang in the balance with talks in Cairo ending today with Hamas rejecting the Israeli proposal and sending back their own revised demands.
As the deal is set to run down to the wire, the 19-year-olds’ mothers each sat down on their daughter's empty beds and let out a maternal scream to negotiators.

'I ask everyone that deals with the negotiation - from the Israeli side, from Egypt, Qatar, Hamas - just do the deal and bring my daughter back home,' Daniela's mother, Orly, 38 told the Daily Mail. 'I beg you, please, do it.'
Karina's mother, Ira, 44, cried: 'Please don't forget my little daughter - do everything that you can to bring her to us.'
Naama's mother, Ayelet Levy-Shachar, 50, said: 'I urge everyone, anyone, who can have an influence - in Israel, the mediators, the United States, Qatar, Egypt - I just want everyone to do whatever they can to make this happen and to bring my girl back home.'

The Mail ran a powerful piece in January showing the terrified faces of Daniela, Karina, Liri and Agam hours after they were kidnapped from Nahal Oz, near the Gaza border.
They were taken alongside Naama who too was paraded in harrowing footage which showed her pulled by the hair and loaded into a jeep in blood-soaked pyjamas on October 7.

Dr Levy-Shachar, a GP, of Ra'anana, near Tel Aviv, sat on her daughter's untouched bed, surrounded by her cuddly toys and the young runner's trophies. 'You've seen my daughter's video,' she said.
'You can see her wounds and that she's terrified and bloody. This is what I'm experiencing every day, thinking about her. Every day – for five months.'
She told how she and Naama's siblings, Amit, 21, Michal, 16, and Omri, 11, now go 'in and out of her room all the time'. 'We feel her and we're waiting for her,' she said.
'I'm a mother and my heart is shattered,' she added, before she broke down and sobbed: 'I'm just tired of saying this. Having to plea and beg. I just don't want to do this anymore – I just want this to happen.'
Mrs Gilboa told how her youngest daughter Noam, 15, now sleeps in Daniela's bed every night to 'feel her' adored older sibling. Meanwhile the hostage's beloved 20-year-old boyfriend, Roy Dadon, is distraught waiting for her.
'I just want to see my daughter here,' she said, clutching her photograph. 'My Daniela, sleeping in her bed, in her cosy room with her family hugging her, supporting her.' Pointing to her dressing table, Mrs Gilboa, a banker from Petah Tikva, near Tel Aviv, said: 'She's a very beautiful child and she likes to dress up.
'I hope she will come back very soon, so I can see her dressing and standing in front of the mirror and look at herself and smile. I just miss her.'
Karina's mother, Ira, 44, sat on her daughter's sofa bed clutching the teenager's reversible octopus toy which has a sad face, but can be flipped inside out to smile.

'Whenever she is back at home this octopus suddenly becomes happy,' she says, as she turns it to smile. The medical secretary, originally from Donetsk, Ukraine, then returns it to how it was. 'Since October 7 we are waiting that the octopus will smile again, for her to be back again to us.'
There are unopened birthday presents on the bed, left in the Jerusalem apartment by her best friend before Karina was kidnapped. 'We miss her very much, our heart is broken,' Mrs Ariev said.
'She is our heart and our light and our family.' Holding back tears, the slight mother-of-two adds: 'Please, don't forget about us.'
Liri's mother, Shira, 51, hugs her daughter's huge cuddly elephant to imagine she is cuddling Liri as she sits on her bed in Yarhiv, near Tel Aviv.
'We didn't change the sheets for 150 days, because we believe that she needs to come back like the last day that she was sleeping here,' the account manager said.
On the bed are more cuddly toys and Liri's Minnie Mouse pyjamas, while the room is packed full of letters and gifts waiting for her return after she turned 19 in captivity last month.
'All the mothers who are watching me, please help me bring my child,' the mother-of-four said. 'They are little girls. Liri needs to come back home to sleep in her room, in her safe room. We need to hug her, we need to kiss her.'

Agam's mother, Meirav, sat holding her talented daughter's violin as she told how she wants her to come home and fill their house with music once more.
'I will be strong until my baby comes to my arms,' she said, sat on Agam's bed above which are messages of strength and support scrawled on the wall.
The tearful 48-year-old industrial engineer then said a prayer in Hebrew for her daughter. 'My Agam, mummy misses your presence. You are my oxygen, my breath of fresh air here.
'I know I'm going to see you with God's help really soon. God is with you there and God is with us here. We are holding on to hug you and welcome you back home soon. Amen.'
The mothers will launch a Bring Back Our Girls campaign on International Women's Day this week to demand feminists finally rise up to help free them.
