New Videos of 2 Israeli Hostages in Gaza Raise Concerns that They Are Facing Starvation with No Deal in Sight - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 1 – Hamas released footage showing Israeli hostage Evyatar David severely malnourished after 655 days in captivity amid a broader humanitarian crisis affecting over one million children in Gaza.

  • On Friday, Hamas's armed wing released footage showing an emaciated Evyatar David, seized on October 7, 2023, after 655 days in captivity inside an underground tunnel system.
  • Hamas's military media unit titled the footage 'The Israeli Government Claims to Impose Starvation,' claims the prisoner was scheduled for release in a swap deal that Israel delays, and alleges starvation is imposed on prisoners and Palestinians.
  • Over one million children now face hunger in Gaza, and UNRWA recently confirmed the famine is entirely man-made, with at least 159 people, mostly children, dying from starvation and malnutrition.
  • Families of Israeli hostages voiced shock and devastation, and Idit Ahel called the footage an 'SOS call to resume negotiations and save the hostages.'
  • Amid international demands for a ceasefire, Human Rights Watch also slammed Israel's blockade as a 'bloodbath and a death trap,' and a temporary ceasefire earlier this year led to hostage releases.
