A heartbreaking video released by Hamas shows Liri Albag, a 19-year-old Israeli woman held hostage in Gaza for over 450 days, pleading for her release and revealing the harrowing conditions she faces.
Hamas has released a distressing hostage video of Liri Albag , the youngest female Israel i still held in Gaza , over 450 days after her brutal kidnapping. The 19-year-old is visibly shaken and crying as she pleads with her government for her release in a three-and-a-half-minute clip. She breaks down, revealing that some held with her have been 'badly wounded' and she has 'looked death in the eye'. Directly addressing Defence Secretary Israel Katz, she says: 'You know my father.
Look him in the eye and tell him that he and my mother don't deserve to hug their daughter. 'Look at them and tell them if you have the courage.' She then addresses her parents, Shira and Eli, and siblings, saying: 'I love you so much. I miss you infinitely.' While her distraught family requested the full video not be shared, they agreed to release two still images to increase pressure for a deal. In a statement, they said: 'Today's video has torn our hearts to pieces. This is not the daughter and sister we know. She is not well - her severe psychological distress is evident. We watched our heroic Liri surviving and pleading for her life. She is just dozens of kilometers away from us, yet for 456 days we have been unable to bring her home. 'We appeal to the Prime Minister, world leaders, and all decision makers: It's time to make decisions as if your own children were there. 'Liri is alive and must return alive. This depends only on you. You must not miss this current opportunity to bring them back. All of them
