Israel's Netanyahu Urges Red Cross to Aid Hostages as More Palestinians Die From Hunger in Gaza

ISRAEL, AUG 4 – Netanyahu condemned Hamas's treatment of hostages as Nazi-like abuse and requested the Red Cross provide urgent food and medical aid to 49 captives, with 27 presumed dead, officials said.

  • On Oct 7, 2023, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Hamas’s treatment of hostages as 'Nazi-like abuse' after three videos showed them in a fragile state.
  • Through three released videos, Hamas and Islamic Jihad show two hostages, Evyatar David and Rom Braslavski, visibly underweight and in poor health, with David digging a grave, as Netanyahu describes 'Nazi-like abuse.'
  • Amid the ongoing crisis, data from the Hostages Families Forum shows 49 hostages remain in Gaza, including 27 believed dead, held in impossible conditions for over 660 days.
  • On Saturday, tens of thousands of Israelis flooded Tel Aviv as international humanitarian groups called for action, with Netanyahu describing Hamas’s treatment as 'Nazi-like abuse.'
  • Hamas says it will coordinate with the International Committee of the Red Cross to deliver aid only if Israel opens humanitarian corridors and halts air strikes.
