The mother of the Israeli hostage emaciated on a recent video, Evyatar David, met the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Mirjana Spooljaric in Geneva. With relatives of other people selected, they appealed Tuesday afternoon.
They gave a letter to the president of the ICRC and asked her to try to make her follow to their sons. “The meeting was very sincere”. Ms. Sproljaric was “sincere” and “we accept the neutrality” of the ICRC, told the correspondents accredited to the UN in Geneva (Acanu) the mother of the hostage Guy Dalal.
“We wanted to express our concern and the urgency of transporting medication to them,” added Vikki Cohen, mother of Nimord Cohen. Ms. Sproljaric “has shown empathy, she understands our position as a mother,” she added.
“The meeting lasted about an hour,” Keystone-Ats Galia David, Evyatar’s mother, told her daughter to Keystone. “Each of us has expressed” his concern and the president “promised us to do everything she could,” she adds.
She admits that she “did not want to watch the video” on which Evyatar is shown very reached. “I was afraid of being destroyed”, but “I must continue” for him, she added, dressed in a t-shirt with the slogan “Help me save my son!”.
“I want them to (Hamas, editor’s note) feed him, give him medicines and I want to know if he is still alive,” she said. Given his state, he could only be alive a few additional days, she said.
“Violations” according to a report
Ms. Cohen calls Hamas as well as the Israeli authorities to an agreement to put an end to the conflict, rejecting the Israeli comprehensive control of the Gaza Strip. She has not had any news of her son for six months. “This cannot continue,” said Ms. Dalal. According to the mother of two other hostages, David and Ariel Cunio, and Mrs. Cohen, “there is no famine in Gaza”.
In a report revealed on Tuesday, the Israeli Ministry of Health, after research on 12 former hostages released between January and February, speaks of “systematic violations of international humanitarian law (DIH)”. “There is a clear correlation between the duration of captivity, difficult conditions, experienced abuses and the capacities of old hostages to recover,” he explains.
The ICRC has been regularly instrumentalized since October 7, 2023 by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who recently called on the organization to help. This is in almost daily contact at a lower level with the Israeli authorities. About twenty hostages would still be alive in the Palestinian territory.
