    I honestly don’t think they know, not for all of them at least. The bombing has likely disrupted their communications with various regions that their groups are residing in and any groups that stopped reporting in makes it unclear if they all died and whether the hostages died with them.

    Additionally, we already know that there were a number of other groups involved on October 7th that weren’t Hamas and they each kidnapped a handful of hostages. I don’t know if Hamas is able to get info from those other groups on the status of things.

      The international Red Cross can visit Israeli prisoners to determine their well being. The same can not be said for hostages Hamas is holding.

            Originally it was Israel preventing the red cross from entering the region.

            When did they change their stance?

          Nonsense. The Israelis have worked with the Red Cross on hostage release in the past. They are an intermediary in the process, a role the Red Cross has taken since WWI. And, Hamas is the first to refuse their reviewing hostages and prisoners.
