AMIGOS DE ISRAEL - CORDOBA (ARGENTINA)

 For over 10 years, Israeli citizen Avera Mengistu was cruelly held by Hamas in Gaza after accidentally crossing the border in 2014. Despite his serious mental health challenges, Hamas denied him the medical care he desperately needed. In February, 2025, he was released from Hamas captivity.

Today, Avera turns 39, his first birthday in freedom in more than a decade. A true celebration of life, hope, and resilience! Happy birthday, Avera!
