Freed hostages have since reported the severe sexual abuse suffered by female captives.
Mandy Damari, Emily’s mother, has voiced the anguish of not knowing what her daughter faces. “Every day is living hell not knowing what Emily is going through. I do know from the hostages who returned that they were starved, sexually abused, and tortured.
Every moment lost is another moment of unimaginable suffering or even death,” she said.
