And she told me she's speaking out because there are still hostages there. But she is the only living witness to speak out. We think there are a few more who are in deep trauma, but there were twelve hundred people killed and at least dozens of them were sexually brutalized, assaulted. And that is why they're not speaking out.

Yes. Even they don't believe, and it's interesting, Hamas has been proudly talking about who they killed, but even they deny the sexual violence. That wouldn't happen. It's against our religion. The sexual violence doesn't fit the narrative.

But I want to be clear, the sexual violence was multiple locations, systematic, meets the definition of a war crime, a crime against humanity, and was part of the plan.

I mean, it is such an important question. There were not rape kits done. 1,200 people killed in one day. I don't, anyone was, people, their bodies were burned. People were trying to identify them. I've actually looked into this a bunch. And in a lot of sexual violence in war situations, there are no rape kits. So that's actually, sometimes they're used, but often in chaos, there is none.

There are very few pictures. There are some, and I saw them in this documentary, and they are, sorry, they are, naked women with nails in their groin. I'm sorry, I saw these pictures.

You've been, I guess, processing dead bodies all over the world. how many times in your experience are they naked? And he just looked at me and said, never, they're never naked.
