Experience the harrowing conditions endured by hostages in a recreated Hamas tunnel at the Washington DC National Mall

The Hostage and Missing Families Forum is bringing a recreated Hamas tunnel to the National Mall in Washington, DC starting Tuesday morning, the group said in a release. 

The public can experience the three-minute simulated tunnel exhibit which the group says will give insight into the conditions in which the hostages are held.

"These hostages have been enduring brutal conditions and have been suffering from sexual, psychological, and physical torture inflicted upon them by a terrorist organization for over 160 days," the release said.

Bring them home

"More than five months after over 1,400 people were slaughtered and 240 people were taken captive by the terrorist organization Hamas, Israeli-American civil society and the families of the hostages call on the international community to do more to bring them home."
