On Friday, she ran to take his uncle to the hospital, where he gave her “the strongest, most powerful hugs,” and she released “an explosion of relief and love.”
“We understand that the uncle we know is the one we know, but even more,” she said when he talked about rehabilitation and strong, and dreamed of returning to his fields, where he is an agricultural expert.
“Unity and family and dedication for justice and the right cause are big because I stopped my life on October 7,” she said.
She thanked the catarrh and the United States for his intermediation with the transaction, and the “brave” Red Cross workers who contributed to the release.
