The families of recently freed hostages shared the horrors their loved ones endured during their captivity in a press conference on Sunday. They demanded that the Israeli government follow through with the remainder of the ceasefire and hostage deal outline. The families recounted details of their sons being held alone in the dark for over 400 days, not receiving medical treatment, and finding ways to stay connected to their Judaism while in captivity. The families of Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed also looked ahead at the rehabilitation process for their loved ones who were recently released after over 3,000 days in captivity.
