On Monday, the terrorists from Hamas published a video in which they showed the liberation of two captives. The elderly women are seen receiving food and drink from the terrorists before they are freed. Additionally, they spend some time sitting and conversing with the women before gently escorting them to the car where they were driven to be released.
After holding Lifshitz, 85, and another lady, Nurit Cooper, 79, captive together with over 200 others during a shooting spree in israel on october 7 that resulted in the deaths of 1,400 people, the Hamas stated that they had freed them on medical reasons. According to the UN, a convoy of 20 trucks carrying relief arrived in Gaza from egypt on saturday through the Rafah data-border crossing. This came after days of diplomatic wrangling to get food, water, and medicine into the blockaded enclave where supplies were running low and hospitals were on the verge of collapsing.
Although charity workers applauded the development, they cautioned that the trucks, which the UN said were filled with "lifesaving supplies," brought insufficient goods to begin tackling Gaza's rapidly worsening humanitarian catastrophe. “The people of Gaza need a commitment for much, much more — a continuous delivery of aid to Gaza at the scale that is needed,” the U.N. secretary general, António Guterres, said in a speech in Cairo.
