The five Thai nationals freed by the Hamas terror group yesterday after over 15 months in captivity are in “fair” health, according to the director of the Shamir Medical Center in Petah Tikva, where the former hostages are recovering.
Dr. Osnat Levzion-Korach notes however that most were held underground and were not exposed to sunlight for extended periods.
She says they do not appear to be malnourished and credits their young age with helping them survive captivity in fairly good physical shape.
