Freed hostage Adina Moshe, 72, says in a video produced by the Bring Them Home Now organization that she left her good friends from Kibbutz Nir Oz in Gaza, all elderly and sick and without adequate medications.

“When I was there, the food situation there deteriorated. We eventually reached the point of only eating rice,” she says, pleading for Israel to do everything to secure the remaining hostages’ release. Until that happens, she says, “I won’t be able to recover.”

A separate video from siblings Maya (21) and Itay (18) Regev shows them saying that every day in captivity “is like hell — intense fear, zero sleep, the lack of knowledge is simply scary.”

They say each day there is “like eternity” and that they missed their family, were hungry, and suffered difficult conditions.
