Emily Damari, freed after 15 months, expresses joy and gratitude for her return home
Tel Aviv: Emily Damari, a British-Israeli national, has finally returned home after being held hostage for 15 months. She was one of the first three hostages released by Hamas as part of a ceasefire deal.
In her first comments since being freed, Emily expressed her happiness, saying she’s back to her “beloved life.” It’s such a relief to hear her say that after everything she’s been through.
Emily, just 28, was taken during a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Sadly, she lost two fingers during her captivity. But now, she’s focusing on recovery and reuniting with her family.
She shared her gratitude on social media, thanking everyone who supported her and campaigned for her release. It’s heartwarming to see how much love and support she has around her.
After her release, there were emotional scenes at Sheba Hospital in Tel Aviv. Emily was reunited with her family, and it was a moment filled with tears and joy. You could feel the relief in the air.
Celebrations erupted across Israel and Gaza as families welcomed back their loved ones. It’s a bittersweet moment, though, as many hostages are still unaccounted for.
Emily’s mom, Mandy, has been a fierce advocate for her daughter’s freedom. She expressed her relief and called for the remaining hostages to be brought home too. It’s a tough situation, but they’re staying strong.
Emily’s resilience has inspired many. Reports say she kept spirits high among fellow captives, even singing to lift their moods. It’s incredible how she managed to stay positive in such dire circumstances.
As the world celebrates Emily’s return, there’s still a call for action to ensure all hostages are freed. It’s a reminder that while we rejoice, there’s still work to be done.
