Eli (Elie) Sharabi

They starved us, they chained us, they beat us, they humiliate us every day.

And

In every conversation I had with them, every conversation, they said two things.

First of all, they keep coming back to Israel in 26, 27, 28, and to kill all of us.

They don't care if it will take 100 or 200 years.

They will do it eventually.

And after they finish with the Israelis and the Jews, they come to Britain and France and Germany and the US, because for them, all of the world should be Muslims.

And there's only one religion in the world, it's Islam.

So first of all, nobody tried to help us, not civilians and not Hamas people anyway.

Even more than that, Hamas

And, you know, terrorists actually afraid, were afraid all the time from the civilians, from outside that will hear us in this apartment and they will come in and they will inch us and they will kill them as well.

And the conditions in the Hamas tunnels, 50 meters underground,

Most of the time it's dark and the hygienic condition is awful.

There's no running water, no soap, no toothpaste.

You wash yourself every six weeks with half a bucket of cold water and worms all over the place, rats and roaches and...

And from then, of course, as I said, as I mentioned before, humiliations and violence and starvation was the worst thing ever.

You understand you cannot wake up every morning and expect to go home today.

So you have to have a routine.

and that the time will pass you know without to get insane uh so we prayed every morning we tried to train like moving us because we were chained on our legs so we were uh and most of the time we were lying down on the on the mattress or the floor and you have to move yourself a little bit and you're talking you're um you're singing

Um, you keep your hope all the time.
