Ruti Strum, mother of Yair Horn who was released from Hamas captivity and Eitan Horn who is still held hostage in Gaza, shared the feeling of hope that accompanies her. In an interview with ynet studio she said: "I still have hope, I've felt my 'Eitan' from the first day, I know he's alive, I feel him and he will return to us alive." She was asked if alongside hope she also feels a sense of missed opportunity regarding humanitarian aid entering the Strip without any reciprocity, and she replied: "I don't get into these things, but I do know that if there's no food in Gaza, the hostages don't receive even the little that exists."
