Family of German woman whose naked body was paraded around by Hamas plead for information

Some in the crowd, which included youngsters, then spat on the woman’s body before the truck sped away.

It is not known whether the tattoo artist is dead or where she is.

In a video published by German newspaper Bild, Shani’s mother Ricarda Louk said: “This morning my daughter, Shani Nicole Louk, a German citizen, was kidnapped with a group of tourists in southern Israel by Palestinian Hamas.

“We were sent a video in which I could clearly see our daughter unconscious in the car with the Palestinians and them driving around the Gaza Strip. I ask you to send us any help or any news. Thank you very much.”

Tom Weintraub Louk, Shani’s cousin, said the family “still have some kind of hope” that she had survived.

He told The Washington Post: “We recognised her by the tattoos, and she has long dreadlocks.”

British citizen Jake Marlowe, who was working on security at the festival, is also missing.
