Short answer
Basically the hostages who were released told how they were treated worse than prison inmates. For example: barely given any food, no showers or beds, children forced to watch the massacre of October 7th and threatened with being shot if they cried, forced to write positive letters about their treatment for propaganda, no medical help, etc.
