The brother of an Israeli hostage held in the Gaza Strip has told the BBC that a Hamas video showing him emaciated and weak is a "new form of cruelty" that has left his parents shattered.
Hamas released the footage of Evyatar David, 24, on Saturday, drawing strong condemnation from Israel and Western leaders.
"He’s a human skeleton. He was being starved to the point where he can be dead at any moment, and he suffers a great deal,” David’s brother Ilay said.
Hostages’ families have urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to prioritise their release as reports suggest he might be planning to expand the military campaign.
A warning that Jon Donnison’s report contains images of severely malnourished children.
