The aunt of an Israeli child hostage recently freed by Hamas shared that the terrorists had beaten the children, forced them to watch videos of atrocities at gunpoint, and threatened them with guns when they cried.
The child hostages had been beaten when they arrived in Gaza after being kidnapped by Hamas.
The hostages were deprived of food, water, and medicine, and reports are emerging about long-term psychological harm to the child hostages caused by Hamas. (Trending: Chilling Surveillance Program Under Biden Exposed)
We are starting to learn about the impact of Hamas captivity on the children and it's utterly heartbreaking.
Thomas Hand, father of 9-year-old Emily, says the little girl thought she had been held hostage for a year and now cries herself to sleep.

“It was only when she stepped back that I could see her face was chiseled, like mine, whereas before it was chubby, girly, a young kid face,” said father Thomas Hand.
“The most shocking, disturbing part of meeting her was she was just whispering, you couldn’t hear her. I had to put my ear on her lips,” he said.
“She’d been conditioned not to make any noise.”
“Last night she cried until her face was red and blotchy, she couldn’t stop.”
“She didn’t want any comfort, I guess she’s forgotten how to be comforted,” Hand added.
“She went under the covers of the bed, the quilt, covered herself up and quietly cried.”
The Red Cross has not visited the hostages and is being faulted by relatives of the hostages for failing to provide them with needed medicines or to advocate for their welfare.
