Families of Hamas hostages held in Gaza made an emotional plea for their loved ones’ lives before the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Wednesday.
Each speaker detailed the harrowing conditions their family members have endured for almost a year, and called for the release of the 101 remaining hostages in Gaza.
Amit Levy testified about his 20-year-old sister, Naama Levy, who was seen in a viral video from the day of her abduction. The footage shows her bloodied and barefoot, her ankles cut, and with her hands bound behind her back she’s forced into a Jeep. The sight of her bloodstained sweatpants raised fears that she may have been sexually assaulted by Hamas terrorists.
“Every day and hour that passes, her life is in grave danger,” Levy said. “She is held without access to food, water, hygiene, or the personal freedoms she once had.”
