The Red Cross has renewed its urgent appeal to be granted access to hostages held in Gaza, following the release of distressing videos showing Israeli captives in dire health. The organization expressed deep concern over the conditions depicted in the footage, emphasizing the need for immediate medical care and humane treatment for the hostages. The Red Cross reiterated its readiness to act as a neutral intermediary to assess the hostages' well-being, provide medical support, and facilitate contact with their families. Despite ongoing criticism and calls for action, the Red Cross has not been permitted access to the hostages throughout the conflict.
