Renee Ghert-Zand is the health reporter and a feature writer for The Times of Israel.
Dr. Anat Engel, director-general of Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, provides an update on the four freed hostages received there last night.
According to Engel, they are in stable condition and undergoing a variety of medical tests.
During the now-ended ceasefire, the hospital received women of a wide range of ages who were released from captivity in Gaza. Six of them have already been discharged to recover at home with their families. They will receive follow-up medical and psychosocial care through a coordinated effort of the hospital and their health maintenance organizations.
