00:00Now your cousin, Agam, who you just mentioned there, she was 19 when she was

00:05captured. She's now 20, so she's obviously had to celebrate one birth at least in

00:11captivity. When was the last time you had any news of her?

00:15So the last real news that we've had of her is, I believe it was like day 53 of the war when we had the previous release of hostages.

00:29So it's been well over a year and what we knew at that point was what the

00:35released hostages who had been with her had told us about her whereabouts, that

00:40she had been kept in homes with families, that she had been in the tunnels, what

00:45she did get to eat on some days, what she didn't get to eat on other days, you know.

00:50So we know about the conditions, we know about abuse, we know about, you know, what

00:57you can imagine from hearing hostages tell what it's like, you know, being held

01:02captive.
