Israeli doctors say five released Thai hostages in ’fair’ health after 15 months of captivity
The HinduWhen the mother of one of the Thai hostages held in the Gaza Strip for over a year caught sight of her son on a Facebook livestream after his release on Thursday, he had changed so much that she didn’t recognize him at first. Dozens of Israeli doctors, nurses and representatives from Israel and Thailand waved flags, sang and cheered on Thursday as the five Thai hostages stepped off a military helicopter and entered a hospital outside Tel Aviv, where they will spend a few days undergoing medical tests and recuperating. Ambassador Pannabha said the Thai government may bring some relatives of the released hostages to Israel, though many don't have passports, and that the government would help those released return home as soon as they are medically cleared to travel. Israel will recognize the released Thai hostages as terror victims, a designation that entitles them to financial benefits and health care, said Alex Gandler, the deputy spokesperson of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He said Israel’s ambassador in Thailand visited some of the hostages released in the previous ceasefire deal on Thursday and that the Israeli government maintains contact with them.
