Details are emerging about the severe conditions faced by recently freed Israeli hostages who were held in Gaza. Many returned visibly malnourished, with reports of significant weight loss, vitamin deficiencies, and untreated injuries. Some hostages endured prolonged isolation, were chained, or forced to live in cramped, unsanitary tunnels without sunlight, leading to further physical and psychological harm. Medical professionals are now closely monitoring their recovery, warning of long-term health risks from malnutrition and lack of medical care. While 20 hostages have been returned alive, the fate of many others remains uncertain, with only a few of the deceased hostages' bodies recovered so far.
