"I can say that we didn't eat anything, that there was no air to breathe in the tunnels, that we barely drank water and even when we did, it was salty. But after 700 days, it seems that it doesn't matter to anyone, and that it's ok to keep people captive."
"I never imagined that we would reach the 700th day, and that I would have to stand here and talk about my brother Eitan, who is still a hostage, and my friends who are still being held hostage,"
"I have a million stories about what it's like to be in hell, to be in captivity,"
Families of hostages gathered in Hostages Square in Tel Aviv and near the Israeli prime minister's official residence to demand a negotiated end to the war in Gaza and the return of remaining hostages. Demonstrators displayed a large “SOS” sign on the ground and released hostages spoke at a press conference. A released captive described severe captivity conditions including lack of food, little air in tunnels, and barely drinkable salty water. Relatives emphasized the prolonged suffering and the emotional toll of reaching the 700th day while many loved ones remain held captive.
