Hamas Footage of Emaciated Captives Heightens Gaza Famine Alarm

  • Hamas released a haunting undated video showing Israeli hostage Evyatar David emaciated and forced to dig his own grave in Gaza.
  • David was abducted during Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that captured 251 hostages and killed about 1,200 people, prompting families to demand urgent action.
  • David’s family calls the video propaganda and pleads for international intervention, while his brother Ilay urged the UN to pressure Hamas to release him.
  • The video shows David saying he has not eaten in days, and experts estimate he lost over half his body weight and may only have days to live.
  • Israel has allowed limited aid into Gaza amid continued fighting and international condemnation of hostages' conditions, with unclear prospects for their release.
