‘Keep the hostages hungry, used to eat like kings, Hamas’s fighters’, the Israeli recited Aapbati – Isreali Hostage FROM HAMAS SAID they used to eat like kings while hostages starved ntcprk

72-year-old Israeli’s ‘Dada’ Luis Har, released from Hamas’s captivity, said that the fighters of Palestinian organization Hamas eat food with chic. He told that Hamas kept him hungry and the little bread that was eaten, he used to snatch a fighter. The people who Hamas held hostage on 7 October 2023 included Louis and he remained in captivity of Hamas for 129 days. He remembered that he was placed at a gun tip in a small apartment in Gaza along with four other hostages.

Luis said that he was tasked with cooking for his fellow prisoners and five armed guards. Initially they were given many things to cook, which made them dishes like Shamshuka (dish made of eggs, tomatoes and onions), omelets and soup.

But as the war progressed, the food supply was reduced and the remaining food was given to the hostages.

Luis told the New York Post, ‘Gradually the food was reduced. The first eggs were over. Then the pit bread was reduced. In the last days, I and Fernandos were left in the apartment. For a day we used to get the same bread. We used to eat half of the same bread and eat it. We also did not eat half the bread at once, but used to eat a little bit so that they went throughout the day.

Hamas’s fighters used to snatch food

Between the two hostages, Hamas fighters used to give a bottle of water, which the two used to drink together. Luis told that many times he used to eat little food, Hamas’s fighters used to eat them.

He told that he was afraid that if he would not eat food, he would die, so he started hiding his bread too. He told, ‘Whatever one of the terrorists saw, he used to eat it. Whenever he comes in and if he saw that we were beaten to eat, he used to take it. That is why we started hiding Pitta under the pillow.

Hamas says that the food in Gaza is ending due to Israeli military action, Louis and other hostages who have been released from Hamas’s captivity have claimed that Hamas has collected adequate humanitarian aid for citizens.

Horticulture Eli Shabi, who was released from Hamas’s captivity, told the United Nations Security Council in March, “On one side, the hostage is starving, while on the other side, Hamas eats like kings.”

Hamas’s captivity reduced the weight of hostages

Luis said that during Hamas’s captivity, his weight was reduced by 35 pounds (15.87 kg). He decreased from 187 pounds (84.82 kg) to 152 (68.946 kg). The Ministry of Health of Israeli says that the weight of hostages has reduced by 40% while in captivity of Hamas.

Luis said about losing weight, ‘You walk slowly. You talk slowly. You do everything slowly to stay alive. Apart from not getting food and drink, the hostages used to suffer one more thing that Hamas should not kill them. Luis said, ‘We used to sleep, but one eye was open. We knew whose captivity we are in and if someone tells them to kill us, they would immediately kill us.

Luis said that the mood of Hamas’s fighters kept changing surprisingly. He told, ‘One day he used to be in a good mood, then the other day he used to get angry. At that time we had to see that we behave according to their mood.

Ephemy sheet to bathe once every two weeks

Luis said that his living situation was very bad and the hostages were allowed to bathe only once every two weeks. A bucket was given a bucket cold water for two hostages and a piece of soap. He was not even given a toothbrush and kept in the same clothes in which he was abducted. In winter, he was given just a thin sheet and hole socks.

There was a temporary ceasefire for some time in Israel and Hamas, but on March 18, the fight started in Gaza again. It is believed that 24 hostage are still alive in Hamas’s captivity while 35 others are expected to be dead.

After being independent of Hamas’s captivity, Louis is shared by wandering in every North America and sharing his experiences so that the attention of the world can be attracted to the hostage.

He said, ‘I am trying to keep hope alive only for the families of the hostages. There is never much talk in the news on October 7, nor does it talk about how it started. People only hear how many people Israel bombed.
