The headquarters of those abducted on October 7 broadcast the testimony of young Agam Goldstein Almog, 17, who was held hostage by Hamas for 51 days and released during the ceasefire at the end of November. When she returns to the nightmare she experienced, she says the thought of death was ever-present.
“In Gaza you live and wait to die,” she said. “You don't know when or how it's going to happen, whether it's going to be under torture or whether you're just going to be killed in army bombings, but you're constantly thinking about it,” she said.
She also described how young girls were sexually abused. “One day we walked from a house into a tunnel. They took us to a room with six girls who had been sexually abused and seriously injured. They had complex injuries that were not treated. We helped them renew their bandages, but at some point we ran out of material,” she said. “I can’t even imagine what their situation is or how they manage to maintain hope. I demand that everything be done to get them out. We have to act and move heaven and earth. “It is a basic right that everyone deserves: to return home, to their family, to build their lives,” she concluded.
