Description (by owner on YouTube)

"No one else looked like skeletons.” Former hostage Evyatar David says Hamas starved him for months while his captors ate freely. David told CNN that he and fellow hostage Guy Gilboa-Dalal “didn’t eat for three months,” while Hamas guards nearby ate cakes, drank tea and remained well-fed. “They told us there is no food in Gaza,” David said. “We knew they were lying and starving us.” At one point, a severely emaciated David was even forced to dig what he was told would be his own grave for a Hamas propaganda video. He said it was the most physically challenged he's ever been. While the hostages wasted away, their captors feasted. And all along, the UN and the media focused on Gazans facing “imminent famine" above ground, while ignoring everything happening beneath.
