00:00Let's go back to talking about your cousin. She's been in captivity now for
00:0315 months and I'm just wondering, have you spoken to people about what it's
00:09going to be like for her reintegrating her into a more normal daily routine?
00:15It's going to be really difficult isn't it for her?
00:18Absolutely, I mean we've never been in this position before. When I say we, I mean as a
00:24country of receiving hostages that have been away for so long. We saw these
00:28psychological and physical trauma of the hostages that came back after 50
00:33days and so we have no idea what to expect. We do know, if you remember the
00:38six hostages that were executed in the tunnels, I think it was about two months
00:43ago at this point, so one of them, her name Ede Niaushalmi, she was weighing
00:48only 53 pounds. That was what her body had weighed. She had lost like 40% of her
00:54body weight or something like that and so we have no idea what kind of physical
00:58state they're going to be in. God forbid, you know, if there was any sexual assault
01:04what the results of that, you know, might have been. I don't want to, you know, go
01:08into detail. I think everybody can understand what I mean when I say that.
01:11The psychological trauma.
