Released hostages Or Levy, Eli Sharabi, and Ohad Ben Ami crossed the border into Israeli territory on Saturday and arrived at the initial reception point after they were transferred to Israeli forces by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

An initial medical examination reported to Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and Sheba Medical Center revealed that the former hostages were in serious condition. They appeared starved and may have lost some 30% of their overall weight.

Appearing frail and being supported by Hamas terrorists, the three hostages were forced to speak onstage before being handed over to the ICRC.

Deadly hunger: How extreme starvation ravaged the hostages' bodies - explainer

The gaunt appearance of the released hostages—who have lost significant weight due to extreme starvation, surviving on minimal carbohydrates with no protein, vitamins, or minerals—was immediately visible. But beyond the outward signs, they likely suffer from severe multi-system damage, requiring urgent medical care in Israel.
The human body relies on a continuous supply of energy and nutrients to function properly. When deprived of food for extended periods, it enters a metabolic emergency mode, breaking down fat and muscle to sustain itself. This leads to dramatic physical changes, offering clear evidence of severe malnutrition.
One key indicator of nutritional status is Body Mass Index (BMI). A BMI below 18 is classified as severe malnutrition, while a BMI below 13 is considered life-threatening, indicating the body has lost critical amounts of fat and muscle.

Posting this in the Jewish group for those whose hearts break at the the sight of these released hostages. These men were kidnapped from the Nova Festival and from their homes on the kibbutzim. They are innocent civilians. Eli Sharabi's wife and two daughters were murdered on October 7th. Or Levy's wife was murdered at the Nova Festival. Ohad Ben Ami's wife was also kidnapped and was released in the first hostage exchange. The terrorists who returned them did so after subjecting them to their own private Shoah.

2. Speaking of The Red Cross....

The Red Cross needs to be shamed. They are as useless as they were during the Holocaust.

They made no effort whatsoever to access the hostages. None. These men were held hostage, starved, and abused under the nose of The Red Cross. No one should ever give this fraud organization one cent.

3. For awhile there was a concern that Hamas will not release them because of Trump's "plan"

4. And...

... Pictures of the poor starved Gazans all show they are well nourished and even plump.

Fucking monsters.
