had one shower. and they, you know, minimal all food on the ground. i mean, yeah, it's torture. >> the freed hostages just now learning of all that was lost on october seventh, including loved ones killed in the hamas attack. >> they've lost everything. every single thing. can you imagine their home is gone. all their possessions are gone. they're not even coming home with their own clothes. >> rubenstein is relieved. they're doing physically fine and will soon be moved from the hospital to temporary housing in tel aviv. in israel, prepared for 240 hostages to be released. >> and they have houses and, you know, facilities and doctors. >> and he says with each passing day, they're getting a bit better where they're surrounded by love. >> they're surrounded by people who are supporting them. they're surrounded by an entire country that's behind them. >> and as far as the third family member goes, reuben stein says they're not giving up. >> i think you have to hold out hope and really believe that

they're alive, just like i did for noga and sherry. >> now, oren actually originally planned this trip to israel to start raising money to rebuild the family's kibbutz. and he says when he returns here to san francisco, he'll be focusing on that fundraising. dan and karina , wow, what a story. >> just so much pressure that they're all under and this is just such great relief for that. yeah >> and he said he was glad. he's glad that he was there when they were returned. yeah. thank you very much. >> thanks, terry. thanks, karina. >> all right. protesters rallied at east bay. congressman eric swalwell castro valley office this morning demanding the democrat back a permanent ceasefire in gaza and end american financial aid to israel. >> and we do not want this in our name with our tax dollars. we need to end all aid to israel. we need our congressman swalwell to sign on to the cori bush house resolution 786, a group of 40 hope to meet face to face with swalwell to share this message. >> a staffer in his office

>> as alameda county district attorney pamela price closes out her first year in office, she's highlighting the work around victims and survivors. she says after taking office, she conducted a full audit of victim services and they conducted an audit by interviewing every member of that division personally, individually, she says, that uncovered a department that was understaffed, under-resourced, with unpaid bills and a backlog of services, which meant victims weren't getting help. >> we also clear the backlog, meaning that we processed 792 bills and. 408 applications. >> da price says she initiated programs to assist survivors of human trafficking, more advocacy around helping children in creating the first ever victims advisory commission to the da's office to provide a level of public accountability and think about how can we continue to build an even more robust and equitable service delivery structure for people harmed in the county.

>> recall price recall price as the recall campaign against da price builds. >> those involved argue instituting new programs doesn't guarantee the programs will be successful. and the bigger concern still remains around criminal prosecution. >> they're in a grave, so they don't get an opportunity to have a second chance at life. they don't have an opportunity to come back and get a job. they don't have an opportunity of any of that. but there's never any talk about these victims. and i feel that that's very unfair. >> dear price is pushing back on those accusations and says her initiatives attest to the worker office's doing with more to come. >> our responsibility is to provide trauma informed support to every family and that we do that as best we can in the east bay anser hassan, abc avenues. >> now we want to shift gears and talk about the weather. >> we had a wet start to the wednesday and it sounds like there's more rain on the way. >> dan which is always nice to hear. meteorologist sandyha patel is here to update the forecast. sandy. >> yeah, dan and karina, we're going to take every drop we can

flaring event on monday at its richmond refinery. three the bay area air quality district says it issued four violations and there could be more. chevron says a partial power outage caused the flaring. this generated numerous complaints and reports of flames and smoke coming from the refinery and in martinez, residents have filed a lawsuit against another refinery they claim the martinez refining company did not properly warn them about the flaring incident that happened last year or the coke dust release we reported this past summer. >> abc7 news reporter ryan curry spoke with one resident named in the suit martinez residents have had enough. >> they claim the martinez refining company is risking their safety. makes me feel like they might be hiding something and it's definitely not good for us, whatever it is. alina cruz spoke to me on the phone while in between doctor's appointments. she and another resident filed a lawsuit this week demanding the refinery be more transparent. >> and it seems like there's

these problems and these issues. they're not really telling us exactly what the problem is and why it's happening and what they're doing to correct it. >> the lawsuit highlights two recent incidents, a flaring on thanksgiving day last year were 20 tons of toxic powder were released. and in july, the refinery admitted coke dust so thick it blanketed cars nearby and they didn't let the people know immediately what was going on. >> they didn't take action to stop it. and you know, the people are sort of saying, what's going on? what can we do? the lawsuit claims pbf energy, which owns the refinery, was negligent, ignoring their duty to immediately alert regulators to keep the community safe. >> it says lab tests show the flaring released magnesium, sulfur, nickel and other harmful components. the suit claims the dust from this summer also landed in people's gardens. contaminate eating the soil before they even knew what had happened. >> you know, if there had been notice immediately as it was happening, maybe even just the day after that could have been

avoided. they could have not eaten those vegetables. maybe they could have stayed inside. >> pbf energy told me they are not going to comment on this because it's a legal matter. meanwhile, the plaintiffs say they had no choice but to file a lawsuit. they say their health is in serious danger and i have a health condition and so which affects my breathing and so i'm even more concerned about that. >> like if the air is bad, like how bad is it for me with my health condition, the lawyers want the refinery to allow residents to get hazmat testing. >> they also want immediate notice when something happens. if something doesn't get done now, they fear the environment in martinez will get more toxic. ryan curry, abc7 news. >> still to come on abc seven news here at six. a wild case of road rage caught on camera. what police want every driver to know and could a bike lane be killing one of san francisco's most popular neighborhoods? >> business owners say yes. and now they're forming a plan to fight back
