Hamas Starved us for 491 Days As a Hostage in Gaza…All my Partner’s Died From Torture…But God Rescued me A humanitarian aid worker shares her harrowing and miraculous journey of survival after being kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th, 2023, and held captive in underground tunnels for 491 days — where starvation, torture, and death surrounded her, but the presence of Jesus sustained her. In this video, Talia Ashkenazi, a 29-year-old Israeli aid coordinator working near the Gaza border, reveals how she was violently taken from a kibbutz during the October 7th attack and dragged into a network of tunnels beneath Gaza.
Stripped of hope and watching her fellow hostages — Yonatan, Liora, and Eitan — die one by one from torture and neglect, Talia reached her breaking point on day 319. In the darkest moment of her captivity, she heard a voice that changed everything: Jesus spoke her name, told her she was not alone, and promised she would survive to tell what she had seen.
⚠️ What makes this testimony undeniable is what happened at the exact same moment, hundreds of miles away. Talia’s mother, who had been sitting shiva believing her daughter was dead, woke at 3:47 AM from a vivid dream. She saw Talia surrounded by light in darkness and heard a voice say, “She is Mine. She will return.” She immediately wrote it in her journal and told her rabbi. Three weeks after Talia’s rescue by the IDF on day 491, they compared the dates and times — and discovered both encounters happened in the same hour, on the same night. The journal entry, the rabbi’s notes, and Talia’s testimony all align perfectly, creating documented proof of a supernatural intervention.
