Health Ministry representative Dr. Hagar Mizrahi says the four newly-released hostages are in an “emotionally and medically complex” situation.

Speaking at the Rabin Medical Center, where the four young women arrived a short time ago, Mizrahi says it is a privilege to provide them with treatment.

The women will receive a wide range of therapies, designed to address both their physical and emotional needs, says Mizrahi, the head of the General Medicine Division at the Health Ministry.

“Today we met Liri, Daniella, Naama and Karina after 477 days of Hamas captivity,” she says.

“This is an emotionally and medically complex event for the hostages, for their families, for the families of all the hostages, and for the entire people of Israel,” Mizrahi says.
