Voices from the tunnels: a chilling reminder of the ordeal of the hostages in Gaza

Rockets and a makeshift morgue from the exhibition ‘Voices from the Tunnels’

"It’s lunchtime on a sunny but bitterly cold day in east London. The air carries with it a whiff of incense along with those of hot dogs and traffic fumes. A red bus pushes its way along the main road and in so doing reveals, on a side street, a poster of a Palestinian flag on a lamp post. Several turnings and a few hundred yards further along is a rubble-strewn yard. Visitors who keep walking will soon find themselves at the entrance to a hospital in Gaza.

"A motorcycle parked nearby was used to abduct partygoers from the Nova festival in southern Israel during the Hamas atrocities of 7 October. And right there, easy to miss, hidden in plain sight, is the entrance to a Hamas tunnel.

"Voices from the Tunnels is a dauntingly realistic recreation in a disused warehouse of the conditions in which many of the hostages in Gaza were kept, and in which about 132 of the more than 200 taken are believed still to be held. It opens, at a location that is not being publicised, on Monday 15 January, and Jewish News was given a preview."

7 October attacks

‘Voice from the tunnels’: London exhibit aims to recreate reality of Hamas hostages 

The hostages were taken during Hamas’s October 7 massacres, which saw some 3,000 terrorists burst across the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing over 240 hostages of all ages, mostly civilians. Entire families were executed in their homes, and over 360 people were slaughtered at an outdoor festival, many during horrific acts of brutality by the terrorists.

. . ."One militant cuts off the head of an Israeli soldier so his comrades can take pictures of the headless body. Several men shout that they want to be filmed killing Jews. The lifeless bodies of innocent civilians are left strewn across the ground at the Be’im music festival, while open-top pick-up trucks transport some hostages back into Gaza, to be taken to the tunnels. When I visited, former Prime Minister Liz Truss was in the room watching, but left after the first few minutes." . . .

"The 7/10 Human Chain Project have also helped create “Stand with Israel” marches in London, and put up posters calling for the hostages to return. Another of their campaigns tries to put pressure on the Red Cross to give more humanitarian support to the hostages – something that the UN have said is almost impossible due to the ongoing war." . . .
