This is the best summary I could come up with:
Only 50 out of the remaining 120 hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza are believed to still be alive, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Thursday morning, citing US officials.
According to the report, following the rescue mission of four Israeli hostages in Gaza, many more were returned to Israel dead, which led to growing concerns regarding the remaining hostages’ return home and the government’s objective to dismantle the terrorist organization Hamas in Gaza.
At the beginning of the war, the report noted that people were hoping for a phone call from the IDF saying that their loved ones were expected to return safely.
Roman has another relative, Carmel Gat, who is among the remaining hostages still held in Gaza.
“It’s about who will get a phone call saying the body of your family member has been found or he has been declared dead,” she added.
According to this estimate, there are around 25 more dead held by Hamas than official Israeli reports account for.
