London-based Sharone Lifschitz spoke of her relief that her Israeli mother Yocheved was handed over by Hamas.
The Foreign Office has said it will “continue to work tirelessly” on securing the release of more hostages after a British citizen confirmed her mother had been freed by Hamas.
A spokeswoman said: “Our thoughts remain with the families of loved ones still being held captive, as they endure unimaginable anguish and worry at this time. It comes after Mrs Lifshitz, 85, and Ms Cooper, 79, were handed over to the Red Cross at the Rafah crossing on Monday evening. They were expected to be transferred to Israel.
Ms Lifschitz had spoken to the media earlier on Monday about how she had not heard from either of her parents since Hamas’s ambush left 1,400 people dead and ignited fresh violence in the region, with more than 5,000 Palestinians killed in retaliatory strikes.
