Family's Fight to Free Nepali Student Held Hostage by Hamas
Bipin Joshi, a Nepali student, was kidnapped by Hamas in Israel almost two years ago.
His family has been working to get him back, but Nepal's government is facing challenges like protests and leadership changes.
This has slowed down the diplomatic efforts.
Joshi's family is meeting with officials and advocating for his release.
Hamas released a photo of him, and he was not on the list of hostages mentioned by Benjamin Netanyahu.
His family is also watching the conflict, hoping for a ceasefire to help in the negotiation for his release.
Bipin Joshi, a Nepali student, was abducted by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
The Joshi family has been actively campaigning for his release.
Nepal's government is experiencing political instability after protests.
Hamas released a photograph of Joshi, but his condition remains uncertain.
Nepal's Foreign Ministry is struggling to focus on the case due to internal issues.
