ICRC says has no information about location of hostages in Gaza Strip

Geneva, Dec 27 (UNI) The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) does not have information about the location and does not have access to the hostages in the Gaza Strip, as the security situation in the enclave prohibits the movement of groups, ICRC representative Sarah Davis told Sputnik on Wednesday.
"We do not currently have access to the hostages held in Gaza, nor do we know their location. Moreover, in the current security situation of ongoing armed hostilities in Gaza, it is almost impossible for the ICRC teams to move safely," Davis said.
