While the video doesn’t show the woman’s face, Louk’s family said they were able to identify her by her dreadlocks and tattoos. In the clip, she asked for anyone to send help or news about her daughter.
On Tuesday, Louk’s family announced they had proof that Louk—who grew up in Israel—was alive. Swiss German-language news website Blick reported that her mother said she was in a hospital in Gaza with serious head injuries.
“We now have more information that Shani is alive,” her mother told television channel NTV, adding she received the information from unnamed Palestinian sources.
The mother added that Louk is seriously injured, and asked the German government for help and quick action.
[Are we sure that the “unnamed Palestinian sources” aren’t just manipulating the Louk family for propaganda purposes? It’s good news if she really is still alive, but I’d be skeptical, especially after the video and photos of her body in the truck. — Ed]
