Hamas said on Sunday it was prepared to coordinate with the Red Cross to deliver aid to hostages it holds in Gaza, if Israel meets certain conditions, after a video it released showing an emaciated captive drew sharp criticism from Western powers.

Hamas has released video of emaciated Israeli hostages being held in Gaza in an apparent attempt to weaponise starvation.

Hamas has said Israeli hostages in Gaza are receiving no “special privileges,” claiming they get the same food and care as its fighters and civilians. The statement, made by Hamas’ armed wing comes after disturbing videos showed Israeli captives appearing severely malnourished.
