Mrs Lifshitz and Mrs Cooper,abducted by Hamas on the dreadful day of October 7 survived the attack and life in the labyrinth of Hamas tunnels to tell the world about their woeful story.Both are more than 80 years of age,dependent on medicine and oxygen still fought to keep their dear life intact.”It was like hell”they said and the entire agony and mental trauma was vivid on their faces.They re still worried about their husbands whom they have left behind in the tunnel.
More than 200 hostages are believed to be trapped inside the tunnel beneath the coastal strip.Everyone in Israel is concerned about the people in captivity and they feel that time is ticking away.There is increased pressure to act forcefully and end the ordeal of the people in captivity.
Mrs Lifshitz and Mrs Cooper were living with their family in close community at Nir Oz very near to Gaza strip and hence worst hit.All the walls and doors are pocked with bullet holes and dried blood allover.Bed rooms and their possessions were all destroyed and fear anger and desperation now rules their lives.Captives include people from Mexico,Brazil,US,Germany,Tailand civilians and soldiers.
