Hostages say they were given mostly bread and rice in captivity
Keren Munder, a hostage released Friday along with her son, Ohad, and mother, Ruthy, told a relative that they were given bread and rice while being held by Hamas, but not regularly.
“Keren and her mom, Ruthy, lost each on of them between 6 to 8 kilos and they are not that tall. They ate a lot of rice and bread,” Merav Raviv, a family member, said today.
She added that they were sleeping on benches, or chairs combined to form a bench, in a kind of reception area.
“When they wanted to go to the bathroom, they had to knock on the door and sometimes they were awaiting it to be opened and sometimes they were waiting one and a half hours or two hours to go to the bathroom,” she said.
Upon returning, the Munders also learned news of their relatives: Ruthy’s husband and Ohad’s grandfather, Avraham, is still being held hostage by Hamas. Raviv said the Munders thought he’d been killed on Oct. 7. They also learned that Ruthy’s son was killed by Hamas in the attacks.
