A family member of a hostage held captive in Gaza says that the delays and changes in the deal to release their loved ones is taking an enormous toll on the already frayed emotions of the families.

“These ups and downs are killing us,” Diego Engelbert, whose sister Karina, brother-in-law Ronen and their daughters Mika and Yuval are held hostage, tells Army Radio.

“We were holding onto a ray of hope and once again it’s gone — this is part of the psychological terror we go through on a daily basis.”
