Palestinian militant group Hamas has released a video of an Israel i-American man held hostage in Gaza who is seen alive and saying that the captives are living"in hell".
It was unclear when or where the video was taken, though Mr Goldberg-Polin mentions being held hostage"for almost 200 days". The Israel-Hamas war hit the 200-day mark on Tuesday. Mr Goldberg-Polin's mother has been campaigning for his return and met Pope Francis at the Vatican last year, where she appealed for help.
