Freed hostage Mia Schem, kidnapped on October 7 from the Supernova desert rave, attended Elton John’s party for the Oscars in Los Angeles.
Schem wore a white gown decorated with an oversized yellow rhinestone ribbon pin to raise awareness of the hostages still in Gaza, as she attended the annual 32nd Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.
Schem, a tattoo artist, is still wearing a cast, having been shot in arm during the devastating Hamas attack on October 7. She underwent surgery while being held in Gaza, and was freed during a weeklong truce in November.
Schem and her family are in the US to speak about the remaining hostages, visiting New York, Toronto, and Washington, DC, where she attended US President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.
