Ofelia Roitman, who was kidnapped to Gaza by Hamas terrorists in October 7 and recently released from captivity, described her experience while being held hostage in Gaza.
In a video testimony screened Saturday night at a support rally for hostages' families, she said, "I'm Ofelia Roitman, 77 years old, I lived in Kibbutz Nir Oz where they took me from after laying me on the floor of the tractor."
"Because I was alone, I was almost without any light and almost without any food."
Roitman recalled, "The food reminded me of the Holocaust. I ate pieces of pita and kept it so that I would have something to eat the next day."
"I ask that you do more so that everyone can be released quickly. The days are very difficult, one day is like a whole week there. I ask that you do everything to free everyone."
