Support the Sons, Husbands, and Fathers Who Survived 738 Days in Hell
After over two years of unimaginable suffering, all 20 living hostages have finally come home. But their journey is far from over. These brave survivors need us now more than ever.
A Moment of Relief, A Long Road Ahead
Thanks to the historic efforts of President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, all 20 living hostages held by Hamas have been freed. This marks the end of 738 days of captivity—but the beginning of a challenging recovery journey.
One man, Avinatan Or, spent all 738 days in complete solitude. Others faced starvation, torture, and conditions that left them with internal injuries and lasting trauma. The physical and psychological scars run deep, and the healing process will be long and challenging.
The Reality They Faced
These sons, husbands, and fathers endured unimaginable conditions:
- Held in underground tunnels deep beneath Gaza with minimal light and air
- Extreme isolation—some in complete solitude for the entire 738 days
- Severe malnutrition—weight loss of up to 40% of body weight
- Torture and inhumane treatment leaving lasting physical and psychological scars
Minimal medical care resulting in internal injuries and neurological damage
You Can Help Them Move Forward
Every single one of these 20 returned hostages is deeply traumatized. Their lives have been torn apart, and many can’t yet see a path forward.
Their families have endured 738 days of anguish and uncertainty. The suffering of their loved ones has derailed their lives as well. Parents, wives, and children have been forever changed by this ordeal.
These innocent victims are counting on our help to rebuild their lives—lives Hamas so brutally destroyed.
(Re) Building Their Future
The worldwide campaign to free the hostages succeeded—an incredible achievement.
But what happens next?
These survivors are rehabilitating while still processing trauma that experts say may take years to fully understand and heal. Israel is still recovering from the wounds of October 7, and these men must find their way forward in a nation that has been forever changed.
How can they recover without the nurturing environment and comprehensive support necessary to heal?
