Mia Schem Recounts Fear and Survival During 54-Day Captivity in Gaza

Mia Schem, a 21-year-old French-Israeli tattoo artist, was held captive for 54 days by Hamas terrorists after being abducted during a music festival near the Gaza Strip. She believes the only reason she wasn't raped by her captor was the presence of his wife and children nearby. Schem described her captivity as a time of constant fear, starvation, and psychological torment. She was one of over 200 hostages taken during an attack by Hamas militants on October 7, which resulted in more than 1,200 deaths. Schem was eventually released during a ceasefire and has spoken out about her ordeal, expressing her desire to expose the true nature of the people in Gaza as she perceives it.

Mia Schem, a 21-year-old Israeli-French dual citizen, recounted her harrowing experience as a hostage of Hamas following her abduction during a music festival raid in southern Israel. She lived in constant fear of sexual assault and was subjected to inappropriate touching by her captor, who refrained from raping her due to his family's proximity. Schem was held captive for 54 days, during which she faced psychological torment, starvation, and a lack of medical care. Her ordeal included being operated on without anesthesia and being taunted by the captor's children. Schem's story highlights the broader issue of sexual violence and the mistreatment of hostages during the Hamas incursion into southern Israel, which resulted in over 1,200 deaths.
