First Medical Reports on Released Hamas Hostages Are in, and They Aren't Good
Hamas is known to possess a vast reserve of food, hoarded by stealing from international aid shipments. That some of the hostages went days without food would suggest that was an active choice made by Hamas, not a result of simply not having enough supply. The terrorist government has attempted to use psychological warfare throughout the war, specifically in relation to the hostages themselves. Some of those who were released hadn't even been told their family members were murdered by Hamas on October 7th.
Food wasn't the only issue, though. Some hostages went without required medications during their captivity, including an 84-year-old woman who spent 51 days in captivity.
