Israel is set to submit a report to the United Nations documenting the horrific torture inflicted on Israeli hostages seized by Hamas during the October 7 attack. The report, based on medical evidence and first-hand accounts, paints a chilling picture of systematic abuse, including sexual assault, branding, and deliberate starvation.
Israel is preparing to submit a report to the United Nations later this week that describes the torture suffered by Israel i hostages abducted by Hamas to Gaza last October 7, including sexual assault and the “branding” of children. The report was compiled based on medical evidence and testimony gathered after a year of treating hostages that were released or rescued. It will be submitted to Alice Edwards, the U.N.
Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Women, men, and children who returned from captivity reported that they endured severe physical and sexual abuse, such as beatings, isolation, deprivation of food and water, branding, hair-pulling, and sexual assault. Additionally, some of them reported that the captors sexually assaulted them or forced them to undress. The hostages were denied medical treatment for acute injuries caused during October 7 and subsequently, in addition to for untreated chronic conditions. Fractures, shrapnel wounds, and burns were treated inadequately, leading to complications which required additional surgeries, that could have been prevented with proper care. Upon arrival in Israel, intensive treatment was given to the returned hostages. About half of the returned hostages described being deliberately starved during their captivity. They were given a poor diet, which often led to hunger that worsened over time. In captivity, the hostages were often subjected to solitary confinement, poor sanitation, severe medical neglect, lack of sleep, starvation, sexual abuse, violence, threats, and brainwashing through media designed to break their spirit and make them submissive. Two of the children that were held together during captivity reported that they were held bound and were beaten throughout their captivity. Signs of binding, scars, and marks consistent with trauma were found. Additionally, two young children had burn marks on their lower limb
