The condition of the abductors is extremely severe: new details about what can be told

The health system is imposed for urgent treatment: Medical factors told the “Maariv” that the initial condition of the kidnappers looked extremely severe, after a long period of malnutrition in which other abductors, from a few carbohydrates, almost without proteins, mineral salts or vitamins.

The factors said it seems that the release of the abductors as the weeks pass, becomes more severe, and that every passing week makes their condition worse. One of the experts involved in the treatment said: There are invisible damage as a result of the meager diet of some carbohydrates they received. Apply for kidnapping a process of interior muscle decomposition, both in the heart muscle, both in the ribs responsible for breathing, and in the muscles in the gut, and the result is a multi -systemic impairment that is difficult to repair, over time. ”

Another factor said that there is a sense of some of the people that the condition of the kidnappers who have so far returned is relatively good, but some suffer from severe, non -visible damage, and it will be very difficult to restore, alongside the difficult mental trauma that will require long and significant treatment.

At the same time, Dr. Hagar Mizrahi, head of the Ministry of Health’s Medical Division, said at a press conference tonight from Ichilov Hospital: “The forces of returning kidnappers and their families raise great hope for all of us to grow and deal. In addition to the three return that returned from Gaza today, as a health system, we have been treated so much in 18 return and captivates in the presence of the attendance, in 109 return and captivates in the previous November 2023 transaction, in addition to the military rescued. We are preparing to treat any medical, mental and physical condition and continue to accompany the return and Saturdays throughout their lives in order to live as a free and healthy life as they deserve. ”

“In addition to returning, we as a health system are also dealing with family members who have been waiting for their loved ones. For the families of our deep commitment. Are now at home with their families. ”

Ichilov and Sheba hospitals who have received first reports of the three abductors’ condition are conducted in accordance with their difficult condition for immediate medical attention. Contrary to the treatment of previous kidnappers, where you could wait for hours or day until the intense tests, while the kidnappers are united with their family, this time medical care will be performed immediately.

The treatment will include blood tests for blood salt tests, liver and kidney function, blood count to detect anemia as a result of iron deficiency or prolonged bleeding, and an infectious process, comprehensive tests for vitamin levels. Initial answers are expected to be accepted within an hour, and then the repair will begin, infusion into the vein or graded feed. One of the factors concluded: “We are very disturbed by their condition, and as time passes, we estimate that the condition of kidnappers that release much more severe.”

After a year and a half of Shavei by Hamas, Or Levy, a Ben -Ami and Eli Sharabi Ohad, seemed in the first pictures on Hamas’s horrible gospel, when they were in the most worrying medical condition so far. The three came out of the Hamas vehicle as a sense, exhausted and with extreme hunger signs. Their walk was slow, they looked weak and supported by Hamas people. Their BMI index according to the images and comparison to their previous state has dropped to abnormal levels, clear evidence of severe weight loss and prolonged nutrition.

Initial examination of their condition reported to the hospitals in the center gave an indication that the patient’s condition is extremely severe, but allows 25 -minute flight in the helicopter to Ichilov and Tel Hashomer. The hospitals are preparing to start a feed protocol for the hard starvation and the diet of the abductors who seem to have dropped 30 percent of their weight.

Extreme hunger occurs when the body does not receive enough calories, proteins and essential nutrients for a long period of time. In such a situation, the body begins to disassemble fat and muscle tissue to produce energy, leading to severe weight loss and impaired essential functions. Among prisoners, prolonged hunger can cause severe nutrition, manifested by severe muscle mass, extreme weakness, immune suppression, cardiovascular injury, severe digestive problems and mental problems such as depression and anxiety.

Treatment of hunger survivors is a gradual and delicate process, which is performed according to unique medical protocols. Initially, a initial stabilization includes fluid and electrolyte infusion if necessary. Then, a gradual return to the diet is done to prevent “re -feeding syndrome”, a life -threatening condition in which the body responds radically to food after a period of hunger. Alongside this, essential nutritional supplements are given, close medical monitoring of the heart, kidneys and liver, and provides psychological support for dealing with the mental traumas caused during captivity.

The abduction rehabilitation is expected to be a long process, and some of the physical and mental damage may not be completely reversible. Studies on prisoners from previous wars have shown that prolonged hunger can cause chronic damage such as osteoporosis, heart disease, cognitive injury and even eating disorders. The health system in Israel will provide them with long -term dedicated treatment, including nutritional rehabilitation and physical therapy, in order to restore them the ability to function fully. In the coming weeks, the dimensions of their bodies and souls will become clear, but it is clear that they have undergone serious nutritional abuse whose implications will continue to accompany them for a long time.
