Silvia Konio, mother of hostages David and Ariel Konio, addressed the humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip, saying in an interview with the ynet studio: "I really hope they don't forget about the hostages, who are the most important. It's also good for Palestinians to have food, I don't want them to experience hunger like in Africa and various places where it's terrible. I think about my children who have no food, water or hygiene." She also shared about the spouses Sharon Konio and Arbel, saying: "They appear strong on the outside but they are broken. They went through this and know what they are experiencing."
