Three released hostages have endured extreme famine in Gaza

The three hostages released on Saturday, Ofer Kalderon, Keith Siegel and Yarden Bibas, received their initial food after the extreme famine they endured under the captivity of Hamas, as evidenced by their drastic weight loss observed in recent images.

This severe malnutrition should also be reflected in their next blood tests.

According to the Protocol of the Israeli Ministry of Health, each of them received tea with sugar, three cookies and vitamin B1 (Thiamine).

Thiamine endeavors to prevent refeeding syndrome

This carefully controlled contribution aims to prevent refeeding syndrome, a potentially fatal condition that can occur when nutrition is reintroduced too quickly after prolonged famine.

In the coming days, they will undergo a process of nutritional rehabilitation structured in hospitals, focusing on weight restoration, protein consumption and fat and correction of electrolyte imbalances.
