Emily Damari, Freed British-Israeli Hostage, Alleges Captivity in UN Facilities

Emily Damari, a recently freed British-Israeli hostage, has made serious allegations regarding her captivity, claiming that she was held by Hamas in United Nations facilities. Her mother corroborated these claims, stating that Damari was not only detained in UNRWA facilities but also denied necessary medical treatment during her captivity. Prime Minister Keir Starmer reached out to Damari after her release, who shared her harrowing experience and expressed gratitude for her return to safety.
