5:06 pm
i wish i knew what to answer. i don't know anything about omri's condition. the hamas and their accomplices don't allow the icrc or any other international organisation to visit the hostages to ensure that they receive proper treatment, proper nutrition, that they are not what i do know is that i watched the scenes today, water and sanitation, and i'm very concerned about them. happens as soon as possible, but we can't delay the release of all the hostages who remain captive if we want to see them home alive. i believe we will meet omri again, that my sister will hug him, that my nieces will kiss him. but time is of the essence. he needs to be home. omri was taken from kibbutz nahal oz. it's where leiciai were hiding in a safe room with your nieces, with ronnie and alma. tiny, tiny little
5:07 pm
girls at that stage. just tell us what happened to your sister and her family, because it was incredibly traumatic describe what happened if you could relive that. yes, certainly. my entire immediate family experienced october 7th to various degrees because we all, they were all in in the area where, but they experienced the worst. hamas terrorists barged into their home first they use a teenage boy from the kibbutz, tomer, they reopened it in order to save tomer�*s life.
5:08 pm
sadly, toma's body was found a few days later. my nieces, ronnie and alma were held at gunpoint. ronnie was awakened with terrorists surrounding her and pointing a gun at herface. who were held hostage in kibbutz. and around 1:30 p.m, omri, with a few others, was handcuffed my sister told them she loves them. and we're waiting to see him. luckily, my sister and my nieces were rescued we could have lost them as well. could have lost my entire family. but luckily we are whole, but not entirely whole because we're still waiting

for omri to return. just unimaginable difficulty using a 16—year—old unimaginable what they were experiencing. just when it comes to her, how is she? she is a true lioness. she's, keeping the faith. in israel and abroad. that is the prime mission we should have. and she's giving us the light and the strength or worldwide, to prioritise the hostages, to keep the media as well, to raise awareness.
5:10 pm
and at the same time, she is an advocate, she's also a mother. she's making sure that the girls are coping ronnie remembers everything. so she remembers everything she tries and makes sure she's holding strong. only a few days ago, she wished to a flower because she's very connected to to to nature, like omri is, that omri will return. and alma, a year and a half doesn't remember anything, of course. or at least we don't know whether she remembers. but she knows who her father is. and she asked my sister that she wants to see him. and that's why i'm doing everything i can. and all ourfamily is united until omri is home, until we can make sure ronnie and alma can brother—in—law of one of the hostages are still being held.
