Rachel Goldberg-Polin, mother of Hersh Goldberg-Polin who was kidnapped on October 7 and killed in Hamas captivity in August, said at the President's traditional diplomatic corps reception that 'Hersh was held alongside five other hostages who were murdered with him in an airless tunnel, 160 centimeters high and 60 centimeters wide, 20 meters underground, without electricity and plumbing. Hersh weighed 53 kg.' She added that the hostages 'were found dirty after not showering for months. Hersh was shot in his only hand, after his other hand was blown off on October 7.'
