He described the inhuman brutality and cruelty of the terrorists. I wish Dhan Bahadur full recovery. We will meet again and we will do the level best to promote together the values of humanity and tolerance."

People from 41 nations have been kidnapped by Hamas. A Nepali student, Bipin Joshi, has also been taken hostage by Hamas. According to Bipin's friends, he was taken captive by the Hamas terrorist group with two-three Thais. His friends said Bipin had saved the lives of 17 people, including six from the farm where he worked by throwing a grenade that had been hurled into his Bunker.

Bipin and other students had gone to Israel under the 'learn and earn' programme of the government. However, just after a month in Israel, a brutal war broke out between Israel and Palestine after Hamas attacked Israel mercilessly from the air, ground, and water.

Over thousands of innocent civilians have been killed in both the countries. People have become homeless as war is turning deadly and unstoppable. The world has also been divided into two groups as some have taken Israel's stand while Muslim countries are supporting Palestine.
