Freed Israeli Hostage Asks UN Security Council: "Where Was the UN? Where Was the Red Cross?"
(Ynet News) Daniel Edelson - Eli Sharabi, 53, a resident of Kibbutz Be'eri, who was abducted on Oct. 7 and held hostage by Hamas in Gaza for 491 days, told the UN Security Council on Thursday the story of his captivity. Hamas terrorists murdered his wife, Lianne, and their daughters, Noiya and Yahel. Sharabi's brother, Yossi, was also taken hostage but later died in captivity. "I have come back from hell," Sharabi said. "I was kept underground, starved, beaten and chained like an animal. For 491 days, I begged for food, begged to use the bathroom....I was given one piece of pita a day, maybe a sip of tea....I saw Hamas terrorists carrying boxes with UN and UNRWA emblems into the tunnels. They ate like kings while we wasted away."
