Amit Sosna, who was kidnapped on October 7 from Kfar Gaza and was held captive by Hamas for 55 days, told the Reuters news agency today (Monday) about the difficulties in captivity, the terrible treatment by the terrorists and the fear that the captives remaining in the Strip will not be able to survive there much longer.

"They took me from the kibbutz to Gaza," Sosna recalled that horrible Shabbat.
"My abduction was very violent. I continued to struggle until eventually the terrorists tied my hands and feet and dragged me on the ground. It took them more than an hour to bring me into the strip. My body hurt and my face was bruised and swollen.
Takes care of the abductees who remained in captivity
Sosna said that during her captivity, she was moved from one place to another under heavy guard by Hamas militants.
She was given very little food, she was watched over in the bathroom as well and she was a victim of violence.

"I was alone for several months with Hamas terrorists. There was very little food, if any. They kept me in the dark and I had to beg to go to the bathroom. When I was already allowed, I was not allowed to close the door."
"They moved me from place to place, each time there were different terrorists there, all of them armed. I was held in the Hamas tunnels 40 meters underground. There was hardly any air and very little food. It was dark, wet. I felt as if I had been buried alive. We were held in terrible conditions. Not a single person You don't have to live in such subhuman conditions."

Sosna also said: "I felt that every moment there could be my last. Every second felt like an eternity. I hope that the abductees who are still there manage to keep the faith and stay strong, but even the toughest souls cannot last that long."
"No talking, no crying"
"When you are in captivity, everything feels fragile. You are constantly on edge. Things can drastically deteriorate at any second. You are not allowed to speak, you are not allowed to cry, you are not even allowed to comfort other abductees when the situation is difficult," she said.

Sosna, a lawyer by profession, hid on October 7th in a closet in MMD while the terrorists raided Gaza City. She had time to write to her family: "It sounds like they're out here, it's the scariest thing in the world, my battery is running out."
Sosna's apartment was burned to the ground, and the MMD turned into a sooty mess. At the time of her kidnapping, Sosna was recorded struggling with seven kidnappers and even knocking one of them to the ground.
