Mia Shem, 22, who was freed from Hamas captivity, spoke to reporters on Wednesday, November 6, ahead of a UN National Security Council meeting, and described the torturous treatment she suffered in captivity.
“Today in Israel” writes about this.
He regretted that the UN and other humanitarian organizations had not provided access to the hostages who were mistreated and deprived of medical care.
Mia described her experience of being forced to spend 50 days alone in excruciating pain due to an arm injury, but receiving no treatment. In the dark room where she was detained, a Hamas militant was sitting in front of her pointing a gun at her. He stressed that during all this time not a single humanitarian organization provided him assistance.
“No humanitarian agency saw or treated me even when I got worse. Where was the Red Cross? “Why didn’t the UN demand access to us?” – Mia asked.
Shem also harshly criticized the passivity of the international community, pointing out that the UN has never demanded access to the hostages held in Gaza. He emphasized that he was here not only on his own behalf, but also on behalf of the 101 people still in captivity. She called on UN members not to ignore the fate of innocent people who she said continue to be tortured by militants. Mia said she was living proof that the hostages could still be saved and called on the UN not to make their fate a political issue but to work for their release.
Shem’s speech was accompanied by Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, who said the UN’s inaction towards the hostages was a complete moral failure. He noted that while Mia and the other women were in captivity, no UN body condemned Hamas or demanded the immediate release of the hostages.
