What reason did Hamas give for denying that it is starving Israeli hostages held in Gaza?
Hostages suffer from the same hunger as ordinary PalestiniansHamas denied intentionally starving the Israeli hostages, stating that they endure the same food shortages as the general Palestinian population in Gaza. The group linked the delivery of food to hostages with the opening of 'regular and permanent' humanitarian corridors for aid into Gaza. This statement came after the International Committee of the Red Cross called for access to the hostages, which Israel supports but Hamas has not permitted. The dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, exacerbated by Israel’s blockade from March to May 2025, has led to widespread malnutrition and famine-like conditions.
