the clay richardson welcome to elderly is rarely hostages. have been released by the as long as millicent group, hamas, the women were 1st transferred to egypt to then handed over to the is really military before being taken to a medical facility in tel aviv. israel says at least $222.00 people were captured by homos, including more elderly people and children. the united states once as well to delay its expected ground invasion of gaza to allow more time to secure the release of further hostages. medical teams bundled, the freight is riley hostages, into wasting ambulances and the postage on a gyptian tv revealing the latest release of egypt sport with garza. and the

women aged 79 and 85 were kidnapped by homeless militants from the homes. during the terrorist attack on israel more than 2 weeks ago, finally free, they were quickly transferred to tel aviv for treatment. they were 10, some really good news of the conflict. be up to see if the 2 hostages. they are very excited about the local key, then medical condition is okay. and this speaking to us, when we receive them be brought them to their family members. the meeting was very, very moving guzman, the home coming a huge relief in mind. the shot, i believe this moment would come. i wanted this moment to come. it doesn't matter if i believed it or not, this moment is here. while the return is welcome, the women's husbands are among the 220 people. israel sees a still being held captive by come us as on susan teeth

around these sites, the families, fia, and frustration, amounting israel has been a messing troops and we pens at the gauze the board of the days. but us media report, se washington has advised it to delay and anticipation ground defensive to allow negotiations to free more hostages, an outcome the wasting. families say can't come soon enough. let's get across to our correspondent rebecca rivers in jerusalem. rebecca, what else do we know about these released hostages? well, the 2 elderly women as we just heard, were released late last night. so they do appear to be in relatively good health. so they, we, they haven't been able to take that regular medication and the time that they have been being held hostage so that we go undergoing more tests and evaluations today. but they did in

a video that was released by some us of the prisoner exchange. they did, or sorry, the hostage released i should say, nothing was exchanged, that they do appear to be in relatively good health. they've been flown to a hospital until a be weather thing checked out. i think that with their families that'd been able to talk with their families. they actually walked out of that. 6 the, the world out across the crossing on the on foot. so they do and they do appear to be a relatively good health. now their husbands, as you just had him at report a still left behind, they're still being held hostage and goals of interest. the interesting, they won all of the prisoners that was released and her husband, a relatively well known peace activist and they've worked most of a lives assisting godson's assisting 1000 to seeking medical treatment in israel. 2 they would go to the board to help them and help with the transport and bring them into is riley to get medical received medical treatment. so it's not clear whether that had anything to do with the release with the decision to pick these 2 women to

be released. but it's certainly very interesting background that you can see in the video as well the as they're walking out. but with the most militant who's taking them to the i see, i see humanitarian workers to full. the exchange that she turns around, she shakes the hand of the mass militants. so that is perhaps an indication also of how the hostages being treated. and that they perhaps give hope for the those that are still being held, but they're still in a fairly decent condition. indeed, do we have any insights into how this release came to be? what do we know about the deal that secured the release? we don't know a huge amount about the deal. we know it, we probably could between egypt and come last days of negotiations, have been going into this prisoner exchange. in fact, there were rumors uh earlier yesterday that some 50 hostages might actually be released the jew nationals being held obviously details. still quite scott, this is just room is at this stage, but it's being reported that that is still in negotiations. arkansas has been

playing a big role in these hostage releases. we saw the other 2 days ago and these 2 and they will continue to play that role. egypt also involved, now it's still the israel was not policy to these negotiations, thought that they were still somehow involved in that they, that was as the sites the session of foaming, in order to allow for the hostages, a safe return, and also for the humanitarian workers. who are receiving them? to me, i have 4 people in total, who've been free to by homeless, where you are in israel, is there now more optimism that we might see more people released in the coming days? i think there is, of course, this optimism, as i mentioned, we've been hearing that potentially in the coming hours or days another 50 hostages may be released. it's not clear whether they'll be released in one go. we know that sofa or how mouse has not received anything of return, so there's still a chance that they will try and use the releases as for more negotiation. but we do expect that,

that we will be single hostage hostages released. and there is also an indication that the u. s. a cooling for this plan, this imminent this expected ground invasion to be held off in order for that to happen. thank you so much for your reporting. their correspondence rebecca renters to more than 2 weeks and still more israel has stepped up. it's been barred mints of gaza saying it is hitting her last militant targets and last leg garza health ministry says more than 5000 people have now been killed in error strikes. causes hospitals have also been overwhelmed by the number of casualties. clinics are short of staff medicines and beds. they're also running out of fuel to power generators. and among the most vulnerable patients, our newborn babies a tiny child struggling to brave life support. it wouldn't stand a chance at god as largest hosp to the head of the intensive care unit for pretty
