Noa Argamani says she was wounded in captivity ‘and nobody came to help me’

Rescued Israeli hostage Noa Argamani reveals that she was seriously wounded during captivity from an Israeli airstrike and received no medical treatment from her captors.

“An Israeli Air Force missile hit the building” where I was being held hostage, Argamani tells a gathering of former hostages and family members of captives at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem.

“I was left wounded, I was left bruised, I was bleeding with my whole head cut open, and nobody came to help me, not the Red Cross, not the doctors, nobody,” she says.

Upon her return to Israel after she was rescued by IDF troops in June, “when the doctors saw all my wounds when I came back, they said it was a medical miracle.”

“There are 100 hostages still there, and it could be that their fate is worse than mine,” she adds.

President Isaac Herzog hosts a meeting in his residence to mark International Human Rights Day focusing on the “dire situation and deep concern for the wellbeing of the hostages,” his office says.

“This morning, I spoke with a leader in our region, and I can confirm that there is global convergence on prioritizing a hostage deal,” he says in a statement. “The goal is to secure an agreement for their release. We want to see everyone home as quickly as possible, and I call on all parties: Bring them home.”
