Cocaine use in France has nearly doubled and consumption of hard drugs like heroin and ecstasy is also rising, a study said Wednesday, the increase taking place as drug-related violence spreads across the country. Some 1.1 million people used cocaine at least once in 2023, according to a report published by the French Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (OFDT). The previous report, released in 2022, put the number of users at 600,000.

Some 214 people were taken hostage from Israel by Hamas militants on the 7th October 2023. In the early months of the war, some were been brought home safe after an initial ceasefire, but the Israeli public has also been drip-fed news of more and more confirmed deaths, while families have protested relentlessly against a government they feel has been failing them. With a new ceasefire deal now agreed, France 24 takes a look back at the plight of those taken captive and the families hoping for their return.
