People who were held captive by Hamas in Gaza are sharing stories of harsh conditions and mistreatment. Freed hostages describe sleeping on bare benches, enduring hunger, and being subjected to psychological trauma.
One 78-year-old woman learned about her son’s death through a radio used by guards. A 12-year-old boy was reportedly forced to watch videos of a violent Hamas attack.
The truce between Israel and Hamas has led to the release of some hostages, but their experiences reveal the emotional and physical toll of captivity.
These stories highlight the urgent need for humanitarian attention to those affected. Credits to BBC for the original report.
