Freed Hostages Share Harrowing Experiences After Months in Hamas Captivity
Recent reports have revealed the horrific conditions endured by hostages freed from Hamas captivity, including extreme starvation, isolation in underground tunnels, and psychological torment. Hostages such as Keith Siegel and Yarden Bibas have reported inhumane treatment, lack of food, and the constant threat of violence. After their release, they face a challenging recovery process, dealing with both physical and mental health concerns as a result of their prolonged captivity. Testimonies reveal that some hostages were held in tunnels for up to eight months with little to no human contact, raising significant concerns about their nutritional deficits. Medical officers have noted that released individuals are now receiving treatment and support but will require ongoing attention for their long-term healing.
