The family of Liri Albag, a 19-year-old hostage, is heartbroken after Hamas released a video showing her in distress, begging for help.
City: Gaza:
So, Hamas just dropped this really disturbing video of a 19-year-old hostage named Liri Albag. She’s been held for over 450 days, and honestly, it’s heartbreaking to watch. In the video, she’s crying and clearly going through a lot, especially after the horrific events of October 7.
In the clip, Liri talks about how she’s been in captivity for so long. She’s wearing green overalls and looks really shaken up. She even mentions that some of the other hostages are badly hurt. It’s just gut-wrenching.
Her family is devastated. They released a statement saying the video broke their hearts. They don’t recognize their daughter in that state. They’re pleading with Israeli leaders to do everything they can to bring her home. It’s so tough knowing she’s just a short distance away but can’t be reached.
Liri’s parents, Shira and Eli, made a video too, speaking directly to her. They’re holding onto hope, telling her they’re fighting for her and that she will come home alive. It’s a tough situation, and you can feel their pain through the screen.
Prime Minister Netanyahu even reached out to Liri’s family, expressing his sympathy and assuring them that efforts are ongoing to bring her and the other hostages back home. It’s a tough time for everyone involved, and the situation is just so tragic.
Liri was serving as a border observer when she was kidnapped, along with other young soldiers. This isn’t the first time she’s been featured in one of Hamas’ propaganda videos, which makes it even more disturbing. The whole thing is just a nightmare.
It’s hard to believe that this is happening, and the world is watching. Everyone is hoping for a resolution, but it’s just so complicated and painful for the families involved.
