Romi Gonen is still held hostage by Hamas.
She physically returned home in January 2025 after 471 days in hell—but her mind never did.
Kidnapped at age 23 from the Nova music festival, Romi endured multiple sexual assaults, endless isolation in tunnels, an untreated gunshot wound, and brutal conditions.
Today, Romi battles deep, lasting trauma, PTSD, guilt, anxiety, and daily emotional struggles, even as her body tries to recover. Ordinary sounds still transport her back. Mental breakdowns strike without warning.
In her public testimony, she said it plainly: "You can’t heal from such a thing." Her fight continues every single day.
The horrors of October 7 are not the past—they are still today.
