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.”
