Five Thai nationals released from Hamas captivity were found to be largely in normal health, according to an Israeli hospital director. While they appear physically stable, they exhibited vitamin D deficiencies due to a diet high in carbohydrates but low in protein and vegetables, along with insufficient sunlight exposure.
On 31st January 2025, Dr. Osnat Levsion Korach, General Director of Shamir Medical Centre in Be’er Ya’akov, Israel, stated that the Thai workers are currently undergoing medical evaluations.
The lack of balanced nutrition, particularly vitamin D, was noted as a concern. Despite not being held underground, the hostages were kept in dimly lit conditions that restricted sunlight exposure.
The release occurred last Thursday when Hamas freed eight hostages in Gaza. The individuals were handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross as part of a prisoner exchange deal, wherein Israel released 110 Palestinian prisoners on the same afternoon, reported Thai Rath.
