Hamas Footage of Emaciated Captives Heightens Gaza Famine Alarm

GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 4 – Hamas aims to pressure Israel with propaganda showing hostage Evyatar David emaciated and digging his own grave amid stalled negotiations involving about 20 hostages believed alive.

  • On Friday, Hamas released a propaganda video showing 24-year-old Israeli hostage Evyatar David visibly emaciated and digging what he says may be his own grave.
  • Hamas terrorists claim to use deprivation for propaganda, with the David family accusing them of starving Evyatar David as part of a cynical campaign.
  • Evyatar David is shown scratching off days on a calendar in a cramped tunnel, and a can of beans meant for two days is handed to him, which he says is to prevent death.
  • On Sunday, August 3, the EU demanded the release of all remaining captives after Netanyahu expressed 'profound shock' over Hamas hostage videos, with U.S. lawmakers condemning the clips.
  • With ceasefire talks stalled, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the images are 'appalling' and called for the immediate, unconditional release of all hostages last week.
