All three freed Israeli hostages are in stable condition, staff at the Sheba Medical Center said on Sunday (19).
“This allows us and them to focus on what’s most important right now: reuniting with their families,” said Itai Pessach, director of Safra Children’s Hospital downtown.
Pessach said medical professionals would continue to examine them over the next few days.
“We feel privileged to be the ones receiving this tremendous honor of handling these hostages and we will remain here and prepared until the last hostage returns to Israel,” said Pessach.
Sefi Mendelovich, deputy director general of the Israeli Ministry of Health, praised the “meticulous planning” that was done to prepare for receiving the hostages.
Mendelovich added that medical staff are monitoring any health problems that may arise after the hostages’ 471 days of captivity.
“This reality is almost impossible to understand. All of us on the health system’s medical team are ready to deal with any medical condition that may result from this reality,” said Mendelovich.
