Speaking at a press conference of the Hostages Families Forum on World Health Day, Prof. Hagai Levine, chairman of the Israeli Association of Public Health Physicians and a leading member of the Hostages Families Forum says that the remaining living hostages are “in grave danger of dying at any time.”
It is believed that 24 of the 59 hostages held by terror groups in Gaza are still alive.
The doctor says that he is releasing a report based on testimonies from other hostages who were released that confirms that “one-third of the hostages are suffering from untreated injuries, as well as illnesses and diseases.”
“The hostages are held in cages, in tunnels, in the darkness, chained by their hands and legs,” Levine says. “They suffer from malnutrition and must beg for food, doing all kinds of humiliating things.”
“They are being held for 18 months in hell,” Levine says. “Any day can be their last day.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
