Molly: Many people have hope in their hearts right now.

Schneider Children's Medical Center, near Tel Aviv.

Here the woman and her children have been released, and they are currently spending more than her 40 days in her captivity under somewhat unknown circumstances.

Of course, one can imagine that government officials are among the reasons.

You are on your way to see a doctor at this facility.

Alex, what do you know now?

>> Yes, we know this is the Schneider children's facility where at least some of these children are taken.

They are separated from other patients and have privacy, where people can finally be reunited with their families and loved ones.

Almost 7 weeks.

While I was here, this guy talked to a lot of families about how traumatic was.

Every day they think about what their loved ones have been through in the past seven weeks.

We talk about what these hostages have been through and what physical condition they are likely in.

A few weeks ago, I spoke with an expert about living underground and the long-term effects of not seeing daylight, being undernourished and suffering from dehydration in addition to psychological problems.

All children have access to therapists and many doctors at the facility behind me.

We can watch this live broadcast We can watch.

Egypt said it was preparing to accept these hostages, and through negotiations it also found that Egyptian mediation efforts reportedly led to the release of an additional 4,444 hostages.

These are Thai nationals.

With the attack on October 7, , Hamas came here to Egypt in .

Instead of , only about 1200 people killed people in all these hostages.

This area of ​​southern Israel is home to mostly Thai foreign workers, who made up the majority of those taken.

A few weeks ago, about four or five weeks ago, when I was here, I saw that many hotels in Tel Aviv were full of Thai he foreigners.

They then drove back to Thailand where a large chartered bus picked them up and took them to the airport where they could spend the day and night until most of them went home.

Of course they took his Thai hostages.

Of those released in 2014, Thais mediated new negotiations for them.

We heard from the Thai Prime Minister on social media that the release of these Thai workers was officially confirmed.

You need to check what your condition is.

There is currently a lot of negotiation and discussion going on about how to get you back to Thailand as soon as possible.

You can also reunite with your family.

This is completely separate from the additional 13 people that we're probably going to meet, many of whom are children who will be here at this medical facility.

I saw people coming honking their horns.
