Rescued Israeli Hostage Noa Argamani's UN Testimony: 'Abandoned By The World' in Hamas Captivity

Kidnapping and Captivity Experience

• 🎯 Noa Argamani was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7 from the Nova Music Festival, along with her partner Aatan Or.
• 💡 She was held in Gaza for eight months in total fear, describing it as living in a nightmare, before being rescued by Israeli soldiers.
• 📌 During her captivity, she was held with two young girls, Ela (12) and Emily (8), for whom she tried to be brave, telling them to ignore the sounds of booming and shooting.
• ⚠️ Later, she was held with Itai and Yosi Sharabi, who were kidnapped from Kibbutz Be'eri; their holding house was blown up, leading to Yosi's death, and Itai was subsequently murdered by a captor.
• 🚨 Despite Hamas publishing a video showing her injury and need for medical help, she received no doctors or Red Cross assistance and was eventually held alone with five terrorists.

Plea for Remaining Hostages

• 🔑 Argamani is speaking at the UN Security Council to highlight that 63 hostages are still living in a nightmare, including her partner Aatan Or, with only 24 believed to be alive.
• 🚀 She emphasized the critical need for the hostage deal to proceed in full and completely through all stages, as her partner is slated for release in the second stage.
• 💔 She described the innocent people, including the Bibas family (9-month-old Kfir, 4-year-old Ariel, and mother Shiri), who were brutally murdered in captivity, calling the crime unthinkable.
• 🗣️ Argamani urged the international community to understand that the hostages are in hell and deserve to come back home immediately.

Emotional Impact and Call to Action
