MH370 families continue search for answers one year on

Almost a year on from the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 and relatives of the victims are continuing to fight for answers.

"Give us back our families. We won't give up hope", they shout as they protest outside the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing.

The Boeing 777 disappeared on March 8 last year during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Many of the 239 people on board were Chinese and their relatives are still as desperate for answers as they were when the plane lost contact

Malaysia civil aviation authorities have declared the loss of the flight as "an accident" but families of those on board continue to question the authorities over the crash and continue to be met with silence.

Dai Shuqin lost five of her relatives on board the flight. She won't accept they are gone or any compensation.

She travels to the offices of Malaysian Airlines twice a week to ask questions but she and others get no answers.

The media are banned from entering the premises but secret footage filmed by ITV News shows the frustrated families' demands going unanswered inside.

"Anyone who dares put their hand above the parapet is in the firing line. I want to talk to media but police tell me not to. I'm not afraid of them. The more they suppress me, the more I want to shout", Ms Shuqin says.
