600 days...
For 600 days the following people have been held hostage in Gaza. Some are still alive. Others have died and their bodies are being held hostage. Each one deserves to have their story told, their names said aloud, and to be brought back home to be reunited with their families or for proper burial.
Believed Alive:
* Nattapong Pinta (35) - There is no specific information available regarding his condition or circumstances in captivity in the provided research material, which is why his citizenship is also not listed. [1]
* Ariel Cunio (27) [🇮🇱] - Kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz. No direct sign of life has been received from him, but his brother David Cunio, who was also kidnapped, has had a signal of life.[2, 1]
* Alon Ohel (23) [🇮🇱] - Abducted from the Nova music festival. Released hostages stated he was severely injured by shrapnel in his right eye, with a risk of total vision loss. He also has shrapnel wounds to his arms, shoulder, and neck, is chained in extreme isolation without daylight, and faces severe food shortages. He reportedly experienced severe anxiety after fellow hostages were released.[2, 1]
* Eitan Horn (38) [🇮🇱] - Kidnapped with his brother Yair (who was released). He appeared extremely thin in February, with infections and chronic skin disease that has worsened without treatment.[2, 1]
* Avinatan Or (31) [🇮🇱] - Taken from Nova. He is held in central Gaza under dire conditions, with food and water shortages, and is in a severe psychological state. A sign of life was received, but no further footage has been released since a video showing him and Noa Argamani being separated.[2, 1]
* Elkana Bohbot (35) [🇮🇱-🇨🇴] - Kidnapped from Nova, where he worked as a technician. He has appeared in several Hamas videos. He suffers from asthma, chronic respiratory issues, significant weight loss, and malnutrition. He is reportedly held in a 40-meter-deep tunnel, and a fellow hostage stated his mental health severely declined after they were separated.[2, 1]
* Evyatar David (24) [🇮🇱] - Kidnapped from Nova. He appeared fearful and distressed in a February video. He is held without glasses (impairing vision) in a booby-trapped tunnel under similarly dire conditions. Medical assessments indicate a serious decline in his physical and mental health.[2, 1]
* Bipin Joshi (24) [🇳🇵] - An agriculture student, kidnapped from the Gaza border area. His current condition is unknown, but he suffered from allergies before abduction. A friend reported he showed bravery during the massacre by throwing a grenade to save others.[2, 1]
* Ziv Berman (27) [🇮🇱] - Twin brother of Gali Berman. He is held in harsh conditions with food and water deprivation. A sign of life was received in February. Ziv sustained a head injury early in captivity.[2, 1]
* Gali Berman (27) [🇮🇱] - Twin brother of Ziv Berman. He is held in harsh conditions with food and water deprivation. A sign of life was received in February. He has been mostly isolated.[2, 1]
* David Cunio (34) [🇮🇱] - Kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz with his wife and daughters (who were released). He is the brother of Ariel Cunio. A confirmed sign of life was received from him in February.[2, 1]
* Eitan Mor (24) [🇮🇱] - Taken from Nova. A sign of life was received in March, but no medical details are known.[2, 1]
* Maxim Herkin (36) [🇮🇱] - Taken from Nova. A recent Hamas video showed him again, less than a month after a previous one.[2, 1]
* Omri Miran (47) [🇮🇱] - Kidnapped from Kibbutz Nahal Oz. A recent video shows he spent months in tunnels without light or clean air, suffering from hunger and isolation.[2, 1]
* Bar Abraham Kupershtein (23) [🇮🇱] - A Nova security guard. He was seen in a video bound with rope around his neck. In February, released hostages confirmed they were held with him and passed along a confirmed sign of life.[2, 1]
* Guy Gilboa-Dalal (23) [🇮🇱] - He was physically and mentally abused and seen in a Hamas video looking exhausted and pleading to return home. He is kept chained, sometimes with a bag over his head for days, and receives minimal food.[2, 1]
* Nimrod Cohen (20) [🇮🇱] - A soldier and the sole survivor from his tank crew. He underwent torture and isolation in dungeon-like tunnels and is completely cut off. A released hostage said Nimrod was not injured but in poor physical and emotional condition.[2, 1]
* Matan Zangauker (25) [🇮🇱] - Kidnapped with his partner Ilana Gritchevsky (who was released). He described dire conditions in a December video: lack of food, water, medicine, and hygiene (including rats and insects), isolation, and perpetual darkness.[2, 1]
* Tamir Nimrodi (20) [🇮🇱] - Abducted from the Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration. His family believes he is alive as long as there's no concrete information otherwise. Footage shows him alive during abduction, held by a terrorist, wearing pajamas, barefoot, and without glasses. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum expressed serious concerns about his health and survival due to a complete lack of information.[2, 1]
* Matan Angrest (22) [🇮🇱] - Abducted from a burning tank at Nahal Oz. He appeared injured and pale in a Hamas video, with right-hand damage, facial asymmetry, and a broken nose, likely from torture. He is held in cage-like cells, tortured during interrogations, and suffers from food deprivation, lack of daylight, and poor sanitation.[2, 1]
* Segev Kalfon (27) [🇮🇱] - Taken from Nova. A February sign of life was received. He has preexisting conditions including panic disorder, PTSD, and anxiety. Before abduction, he had leg surgery and now suffers severe pain and coughing fits. He is held in chains under prolonged isolation and without medical care.[2, 1]
* Rom Braslavski (21) [🇮🇱] - A Nova security guard. He appeared in a recent video stating, “I’m in pain all day. I don’t know what this illness is.” He has asthma and severe allergies, scoliosis, chronic back pain, and no longer has his glasses in captivity.[2, 1]
* Yosef-Haim Ohana (24) [🇮🇱] - Taken from the Nova festival. He appeared in a Hamas video in March. A released hostage reported he suffers from a digestive condition worsened by poor food and unsanitary conditions, leading to frequent vomiting and diarrhea that caused him to lose consciousness.[2, 1]
