The estimates are not exactly clear, but the best estimate is 251 hostages were taken on October 7th. Now, of those 251 hostages, we estimate that 97 [hostages] remain in Gaza, plus an additional four hostages who were captured before October 7th. And to review what has happened, 70 hostages have died either on October 7th or in the month since then. 34 of the hostages who remain in Gaza are dead, according to Israeli officials. (04:33–04:41)
