It has now been 150 days since over 250 innocent people were wantonly kidnapped from their homes by Hamas terrorists. 134 of them remain in captivity in Gaza. Based on findings from IDF operations in Gaza and on the testimonies of hostages who have been released or rescued, those remaining suffer daily from physical, emotional and sexual abuse as well as starvation. There are still two toddlers among the captives while others are wounded, sick or elderly.
