Tel Hashomer Hospital Director Dr. Yael Frankel-Nir says that the physical condition of the released hostages is good enough to allow them to focus on reuniting with family members.
“Their condition allows us to focus on the important thing, which is reuniting with their families, and to postpone delving into medical issues for a few hours,” she says.
“We are closely accompanying them and their families,” she says.
