Not as for several days in a row. I’m in a very, very, very difficult situation

“Our brothers are turning into skin and bone,” said a family member of Matan Zangauker, another hostage. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in support of the hostages as they ask for a solution for a ceasefire.

The video has gained repercussion in a delicate moment of the war, when Israel believes that about 20 hostages are still alive. More than 100 kidnapped were released after two short-term ceasefire-the last of them in March-but 30 are believed to be dead. Israeli forces even reported that they found bodies as they advanced through Gaza.

The hostage images David contrasts with images that portray hunger that affects residents of Gaza and has killed dozens of people. Israel has limited the amount of humanitarian aid that reaches the population – most of the two million inhabitants of Gaza has not eaten for days, the world food program reported.

To date, it is estimated that more than 60,000 people have died in Gaza. Among the victims of the war are children and the elderly.
