Released Video Shows Hostage Rom Braslavski Emaciated, Tearful, Unable to Stand
By The Media Line Staff
On Sunday, the family of Israeli hostage Rom Braslavski released a video produced by Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) showing him tearful, saying he had been denied food and water. In the footage, Braslavski identifies himself as “a prisoner of the Al-Quds Brigades,” PIJ’s armed wing. “I’ve run out of food and water. They would give me a little, but today I got nothing at all,” he says. “All I had today was three pieces of falafel. Yesterday, it was barely a plate of rice. Please bring food and a liter of water. I’m on the brink of death.”
The video shows Braslavski lying on a mattress, saying he has pain in his foot and difficulty standing. At one point, he holds up a notebook on which he has written, “Get me out of here now!” next to a drawing of a hostage pin. The date on the page indicates the footage was recorded on July 20.
The PIJ claimed that they lost contact with Braslavski’s captors two days later.
