Rom Braslavski, a young Israeli man kidnapped on October 7 and currently held by the terrorist organizations controlling Gaza, appears in a video published by Islamic Jihad in an alarming physical and emotional state: emaciated, crying, with a faint voice, he describes the hell he is living underground.
His family, despite the immense pain, authorized the publication of the material so the world can see with its own eyes what the hostages are suffering.
"I have no more food or water. Before, they gave me a little, today there is nothing left," Braslavski says in the video, where he recounts that on that day he only ate "three crumbs of falafel" and that the previous day he barely received "a little rice."
He states that he can't walk, that he has pains that "do not look good," and that he feels he is "at death's door." With tears, he pleads: "You have to stop what you are doing here. I can't sleep. I can't live."

According to Islamic Jihad, the video was recorded days before they lost contact with Braslavski's captors, and they claim to be unaware of his current condition.
Israel rejects these claims and accuses both Hamas and IJ of using the hostages as instruments of psychological warfare, spreading manipulated or outright false messages for propaganda purposes.
On Friday, another terrorist group—Hamas—released an equally disturbing video of hostage Evyatar David, where he appears pale, extremely thin, and digging what he says he fears may be his own grave.
For Prime Minister Netanyahu, these images only confirm the inhuman nature of the enemy and its total disregard for a negotiated solution. "Hamas doesn't want an agreement. It wants to break us with horror videos, with propaganda designed to instill fear. But they won't break us," Netanyahu said in an official statement. "I'm more determined than ever to free our hostages, to destroy Hamas, and to ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel."
Rom's mother, Tami Braslavski, shared a heartbreaking message through the Hostages' Families Forum: "The video shows the nightmare I only feared to imagine. The fear we live with has become more tangible than ever. It's important for the world to see this, even though it's hard for me to show my son publicly in this condition."
"I've never seen my son like this," she added. "Rom doesn't scream or get angry, he speaks in a low voice, like someone who has accepted that he has nothing left to fight for, and who may not come out of there alive."
The images released this week expose the cruel truth that many international organizations and governments prefer to ignore: the terrorist groups that govern Gaza not only attack Israeli civilians, but also psychologically and physically torture their prisoners, violating all the most basic humanitarian norms.
