"Israeli Mother's Terrifying Account of Family's Gaza Captivity: A Game of Russian Roulette"

Sharon Alony-Cunio, a former Hamas hostage, describes the horror of her family's seven-week captivity in Gaza, where they were constantly moved to evade the Israeli army and airstrikes. She recounts the daily fear of not knowing if they would be killed or kept alive. Despite the difficult conditions, Alony-Cunio's faith in humanity was restored when fellow captives selflessly gave up their food to feed her 3-year-old twin daughters. The family endured challenges such as limited food, darkness, and lack of information about rescue efforts. Alony-Cunio and her daughters were eventually freed, but her husband remains in captivity. She now calls on Israel to prioritize the release of the hostages.
