Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, addressed a special report from the Health Ministry that sheds light on the physical and psychological conditions of hostages abducted by Hamas, which will be formally submitted to the United Nations in the coming days.

“In the coming days, we will submit a report to the UN Office of Torture that describes the horrors that Israeli hostages went through and are going through under Hamas captivity,” Danon stated, emphasizing the importance of holding the international community accountable for recognizing these atrocities.

Danon criticized the global and UN response, stating, “The UN and the international community are trying to continue their agenda and ignore the horrors of October 7.” He vowed, “We won’t let that happen. We will continue to remind the UN of the sexual abuse, starvation, neglect, and humiliation that our hostages are going through, and the cruelty of the Hamas terrorists. We will not stop until everyone returns home.”

The report being prepared for the UN is organized into two key parts. The first segment details the conditions faced by hostages released or rescued from Gaza, highlighting the neglect, abuse, and torture they endured, as well as the long-lasting effects on their physical and mental well-being. This section draws from interviews with medical teams who treated the hostages upon their return to Israel.

The second part of the report outlines the rehabilitation strategies deemed suitable for survivors. It compiles insights from healthcare providers, including primary care nurses, doctors, and mental health experts, who are delivering ongoing treatment in specialized clinics for those affected by their captivity.
