Earlier today, relatives of Israeli hostages described how their relatives ate rice and pita and slept on plastic chairs after being kidnapped by Hamas.
Hostages who were returned to Israel and reunited with their families on Friday evening told their loved ones how they were treated.
Keren Munder, her son and her grandmother were among those released after they were abducted from their relatives’ home in Kibbutz Nir Oz.
Ms. Munder told her cousin that the hostages ate mostly rice and pita and slept on rows of plastic chairs, like those in waiting rooms.
She also said that they knocked on the door when they needed to go to the toilet, but that sometimes they had to wait an hour and a half before they could go.
Merav Raviv, Keren’s cousin, said her aunt Ruthie and Keren’s son Ohad were also taken, but their elderly uncle Avraham was taken separately.
The kidnapped family believed their frail uncle had been killed until Mrs. Raviv told them he was being held hostage, but Keren’s brother Roi had been killed, she said.
Mr Munder is not in good health, walks with a cane and has poor eyesight.
He was left in the house by Hamas when his wife, daughter and grandson were kidnapped.
