Sky News host Sharri Markson has broken down into tears after hearing the tragic story of how a girl held captive with former hostage Aviva Siegel was beaten by Hamas terrorists.

Ms Siegel’s husband of 45 years, Keith Siegel, is still being held captive by Hamas terrorists a year after his abduction.

“The worst thing for me there was when they tortured Keith and the girls,” Ms Siegel said.

“I wanted to scream but I couldn’t I had to keep quiet.”

Ms Siegel detailed a moment when one female hostage was beaten by Hamas terrorists while being handcuffed.

“When she came back she was shaking and crying and I couldn’t even hug her because I wasn’t allowed to and I felt like her mother.”
