He's 26 and his family says he's a fisherman who went to Venezuela for work about six months ago.

He had told his family he was coming back to Trinidad on the same day a U.S.

strike happened.

And since then, they've had no contact with him.

I spoke to his grandma.

who says she hopes that one day the phone rings and it's him.

But in her heart, you know, she knows that he's very likely dead.

So much so that they're going to have a funeral service without a body on Wednesday.

It's worth noting that the government here says that no Trinidadians have died in any U.S.

attack.

But I think that is the tough part of the story.

Those boats and those attacks.

are in open waters, and the U.S.

has released limited information.

And so it leaves all these families filling in the details.

The only thing they know is that their family members went out into the Caribbean and they never came back.

Thank you, Leila.

In a statement, Hamas said recovering the 19 bodies of the remaining Israeli hostages may take some time because it requires special digging equipment that it needs from outside Gaza.

Hamas said the bodies are buried in tunnels under the rubble of bombed out buildings.

Hamas's militant wing leaked a video to Al Jazeera showing its men searching for the bodies of hostages.
