Maayan Sigal Koren, the niece of rescued hostage Fernando Marman, says her uncle never received any medication while in captivity, despite a Qatar-brokered deal that was supposed to see this happen.

“We handed over all the medications [they needed] as part of the last medicine deal,” she tells Army Radio, “and according to what they said they never got anything — they were surprised [to hear] that there was any such deal.”

Marman and his brother-in-law Louis Har were rescued in a dramatic IDF operation in Rafah early yesterday morning.
