The Experiences of Israeli Hostages Rescued from Gaza
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - The Israel Ministry of Health has completed a report based on testimonies from Israeli hostages released or rescued from Hamas captivity in Gaza. Some of the hostages experienced great weight loss after starvation and malnutrition, leading to "muscle breakdown and a weakened immune system. As a result of appalling hygiene, and unclean water, hostages suffered from stomach pains and diarrhea during their time in captivity." Some hostages were held alone in the dark for days, tied hand and foot. They were beaten all over their bodies, some had their hair pulled out, and in some cases their skin was burned with an iron heated over a hot fire. Several hostages described experiencing immense pain under medical treatment.
