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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
