i was at hostage square prior to coming to sheba hospital, and again, i think this was the first time that a crowd, it was a massive crowd. at that point. there was a jumbo screen there showing the israeli news, and they actually saw the images that were released by hamas, essentially of their transfer to the red cross. and just even seeing those images for the first time, this crowd, it changed jim. they allowed themselves, even for just a moment, to smile. happy tears, cry happy tears and hug each other. i mean, this was a collective trauma that this country has experienced, and no one in that crowd that comes every single week. now, they all know these hostages by name. they all know their family members. they all know their stories. and it's just it's it's shocking to see the resilience that we've seen in this country for the past 15 months, really fighting for the release of these hostages and really putting pressure. jim, one should note, not just on hamas, obviously, and the mediators and the the media and the world to not lose focus on this story, but their own government. you

there will be physical and psychological things that will be addressed by the team here at the shebaggest hospitals in the middle east. they will have all the special is that they need on hand to start the process of coming to terms with what happened to them. these the first three hostages to be released, tell us about the process now and how long this will take. it's a complicated process and in many phases. effectively the way it works is a group of israeli hostages are released and then in return palestinian prisoners and detainees are released. they have 90 palestinian prisoners being released, each of the israeli hostages that were released there will be a series of releases over the following week. this is a six week temporary cease—fire. during that period they will be 33 hostages released by hamas if everything goes according to plan. they are children, women, the elderly, the second ——sick the injured foot that we're not expecting all of the 3312 survived this and to still be alive. israel is being prepared for the fact that live hostages being released is likely that in so

and once they come here to sheba, as i said, dana, they will be evaluated. all of the doctors at any of the six hospitals where they would be transferred all have their medical records even prior to obviously, october 7th. so if they have any underlying conditions, they are fully aware of that they are fully prepared to treat them. and as we noted, they are advised to stay for at least four days. and we're hoping once they arrive and again, you're looking at the heliport behind me, the helipad behind me, then we will be waiting to see if there are any press updates from the medical officials. >> and, bianna, you can't see this, but the other side of your screen is where the helicopter is going to take off. jeremy, what are you seeing? >> well, dana, we're starting to hear the helicopter engines revving up, beginning to worry here. so it seems like we are close to the moment when they will take off. and in fact, we were able to see actually some individuals getting into those helicopters not long ago wasn't able to confirm whether or not it was indeed these n

. >> let's go right now to nbc's raf sanchez, who is at the sheba medical center in tel aviv, which is preparing to treat the hostages. they'll be doing examinations and the like. so talk about anything happening right now at the hospital, ralph. what do you know? >> yeah. alex. so this is one of the biggest hospitals in the tel aviv area, and it is the staff here who have been given the task of caring for these three young women who just an hour or so ago emerged from gaza. romi gonin, doron steinbrecher and emily demari. and we are expecting potentially any minute now to start to hear the roar of the rotor blades as an israeli military helicopter arrives here carrying those three women, they will be landing at a helipad not that far from where we are here, and it will be ambulances that will drive them right past. and you may be able to see behind me. alex, there is plastic sheeting that has been erected by the authorities at this hospital, and that is to protect the privacy of these three women who have been through 471 days of captivity as they arrive here. this is the first step o

bianna golodryga outside sheba hospital. thanks so much.ning me now is israeli defense forces spokesman, lieutenant colonel nadav shoshani. colonel, thanks so much for taking the time. first question i have is what you know about the condition of the three young women. >> well, what we set up on the border is those spots for those initial checks where the mothers met their daughters for the first time, and we gave them first support, medical support. but they're going now to have more extensive checkups, as you said, more than a year in captivity with the terror organization, sometimes with no lights, sometimes with no food. so they're going to have extensive care. from what we've seen in the first case, we've seen them standing, we've seen them smiling, we've seen them hugging the families. we've seen good signs. but again, they've been there for 15 months with terrorists in horrible conditions in gaza. and they're going to they're going to go extensive checks now in the hospital in sheba. they will be there. the hospital is ready to facil

nbc's raf sanchez reports from sheba medical center, where they will be undergoing medical treatment after 471 days of war. a ceasefire is now in place in gaza, and the first three hostages to be freed in this phase of the deal have now come out. their names are romy gonin, doron steinbrecher and emily demari. and a short while ago they drove past us here at sheba hospital in tel aviv, where they are going to begin the long journey of recovery. israel releasing 90 palestinian prisoners, women and teenagers in exchange for those three young women and humanitarian aid beginning to enter the gaza strip, where it is so badly needed, the hope is that this is the first of what will be many quiet days where we will see the bloodshed coming to an end in gaza. we will see more of these hostages coming out. the big question, though, is whether phase one of the deal this six week ceasefire will be followed by phase two, a permanent end to the war, the withdrawal of all israeli forces from gaza and all hostages finally coming home. ralph sanchez, nbc news, tel aviv. all right. this is a developi

and that's where we find nbc's raf sanchez as sheba medical center. after 471 days of war, a ceasefire is now in place in gaza and the first three hostages to be freed in this phase of the deal have now come out. their names are romy conan, doron steinbrecher and emily demari. and a short while ago they drove past us here at sheba hospital in tel aviv, where they are going to begin the long journey of recovery. israel releasing 90 palestinian prisoners, women and teenagers in exchange for those three young women and humanitarian aid beginning to enter the gaza strip, where it is so badly needed, the hope is that this is the first of what will be many quiet days where we will see the bloodshed coming to an end in gaza. we will see more of these hostages coming out. the big question, though, is whether phase onene of theeal this six week ceasefire will be followed by phase two, a permanent end to the war, the withdrawal of all israeli forces from gaza and all hostages finally coming home. raf sanchez, nbc news, tel aviv. and this is a developing story w

they will be put into a helicopter and they'll be flown to tel aviv, the sheba hospital in tel aviv, where they will be released or where they will be treated for whatever it is they need to be treated, they will have to be debriefed, and then they will be reunited with their families and the public if they choose to do so. we also have 69 women and children, palestinian prisoners, some of whom have been held on what's called administrative detention, in some cases without charge. they are being released into beitunia in the west bank. that's north of jerusalem, west of ramallah. they have been told the instructions are there to be no parades or celebrations in that area. however, we were just speaking to daniele hamamdjian, who is in the west bank, and it does seem like to the extent that there are people gathering and there are people honking their horns, something that looks like a celebration may or may not be underway. we will also keep bringing you pictures. pictures of hostages square in tel aviv, where families of hostages and supporters are there. that has been a nexus not j

. >> let's go to nbc's ralph sanchez, who once again is just by the sheba medical center there in telviv. so the good news, we saw it thanks to the video you showed us at the tail end of that caravan, the three israeli hostages arriving there. talk about the recovery they're going to face and the length of time you expect it to endure. >> it is going to be a long recovery, alex. so when the first group of hostages came out of gaza back in november 2023, these were people who had been in captivity for some 50 something days. these three young women, romy gonin, emily demari and lauren steinbrecher, who just literally a few minutes ago drove past us here into the sheba medical hospital behind me. they have been in captivity for 471 days, and now they have been free for about five hours. we've been talking to medical professionals throughout the day about the unbelievably complex and protracted recovery that they have ahead of them. i'll give you just a couple of examples of specifics that these doctors are thinking about when they are treating people who have been hostages for so long.

also there, nbc's raf sanchez at the sheba medical center.o, raf, tell us what happens next for these women. and now what? less than one day in how precarious overall is your sense of the status of this ceasefire? >> so, alex, there are two main threats to this ceasefire, which is just about 11 hours old at this point. the first is that it breaks down during phase one, which we are in right now. this phase is expected to last for six weeks. 33 hostages due to come out. and this phase nearly fell apart before it even began. it was supposed to begin at 8:30 a.m. local time this morning. hamas did not release the names of these three female hostages, and so israel continued its strikes inside of gaza until 11:15 a.m, when those names were provided and the cease fire did go into effect. between those two times, 19 people were killed in gaza, according to local authorities. there. those are people killed in the very final minutes of this conflict before the cease fire came. so there is a danger if hamas doesn't release hostages, if fighting breaks

. >> so we are standing outside sheba hospital. it's one of the main hospitals here in tel aviv.nd it is the staff here who have been given the task of caring for the three young women you see on your screen, romy gonin, doron steinbrecher and emily demari. after their 471 days in captivity. as you can imagine, a lot of thought has been given to the medical protocols how to care for these hostages as they emerge from gaza. first stage, they go from the captivity of hamas to the red cross. red cross transfers them over to the israeli military, and there they will be given an initial round of medical checks. now, if any of these three women are found to need emergency treatment, they are going to be taken to two hospitals in the south of israel. but assuming that none of them are in any kind of crisis condition, we are expecting ali that they will be loaded onto israeli military helicopters and they will be flown here. and that is something that could potentially happen quite quickly. you know, one of the great, great mental disconnects of this war, tel aviv and gaza, are just a fe

they were flown by helicopter here to tel aviv, to the sheba medical hospital, where they are beginningu rightly described as a long road to recovery. the doctors here gave us their initial assessment that all of them appear to be in good enough health, that they can be reunited with their families, but they have a long way to go in terms of both their physical and their mental care. i will say, stephanie, this ceasefire began three hours late. hamas was supposed to hand over the names of these three hostages earlier, when they did not do so. by the time the ceasefire was supposed to begin at 8:30 a.m. local time, israel continued its strikes for another several hours, the cease fire finally going into place at 11:15 a.m. and what is truly agonizing, stephanie is in that window between 8:30 a.m. when the ceasefire was supposed to start, 11:15 a.m. when it actually started. local authorities in gaza say 19 people were killed by israeli strikes. so these are people who died, were killed in literally the last minutes before this ceasefire went into place. you rightly pose the question, wil

and as the sheba medical center announced, they don't have immediate medical needs.hat is life threatening. and that's very relieving to hear. now, today and the next day, they will have full assessment. you know, nutritional assessment and vitamin deficiencies and their bodily systems, together with their mental health. you know, we don't know what is their conditions in terms of their ability to function like the delicate issues of using their their fingers, as we saw, emily damari lost two fingers and their speech because maybe they were not allowed to speak. so we know from the previous hostages that the journey is long. it needs to be very professional, very supportive, and it will may take life long recovery to find the new. themselves after they have been dehumanized by the hamas. now we need to help them become humans again. it's also for the family. the recovery is also for the families that were fighting for so long. now can finally start the process of recovery. but again, i'm telling you, it cannot be complete without returning all the hostages back home

the sheba medical center, just outside of tel aviv. and you know, one thing that's important to note about the location where we are reem, is where that nova music festival was held, where rami jenin, who we expect to emerge from captivity today after more than 15 months. that is where she was taken hostage. she was also shot and wounded that day as she was as that attack unfolded, and was then taken to gaza and has been held in captivity since then. so, so certainly some symbolism there in the fact that she will taste her first moments of freedom right near the site where she was taken hostage over 15 months ago. we also know, of course, that emily damari and lauren steinbrecher, both from kibbutz kfar aza, also not very far from where we are now. they are also expected to emerge. we're just seeing one of the helicopters lifting off again. now, dana, i'm not sure if it's just repositioning perhaps does not appear to be fully, fully lifting off yet. but but this situation is very, very dynamic. and that's one of the things that we have

it will be the sheba medical center in the suburbs of tel aviv, and that is where we expect those family reunions to finally take place. jim. >> yeah, and of course, as you know, jeremy, the the scars, the emotional, psychological, physical scars of that long captivity, they will last, sadly. and israeli medical authorities are ready to do their best to help treat those wounds as well. thank you. jeremy diamond. as part of the gaza ceasefire hostage deal, nearly 2000 palestinian prisoners will be freed in exchange, many of them detained in ofer prison in the west bank. we're going to go there for a live report right after a quick break. >> after a big comeback, donald trump begins his second term. history unfolds live on cnn. join jake tapper and anderson cooper as the 45th president. >> i, donald john trump becomes the 47th. >> the inauguration of donald trump tomorrow at eight on cnn. lumber liquidators is open and ready to save you big money on a beautiful new floor. see our flooring experts at over 200 locations nationwide. save at least 50% on a new floor. go to lumber liquidators.

they were at that base for about an hour and a half, and then those helicopters whisked them over to sheba medical center, right here on the outskirts of tel aviv. but certainly a moment, a long time coming and one that we expect to be replicated over the course of the next six weeks. >> as long as the cease fire, that is the plan. and we should acknowledge that. i've been speaking to mental health experts today who've dealt with hostages when they come out of captivity like this, that the that the wounds last beyond the captivity, the psychological wounds and the physical wounds. of course, as we saw, for instance, with one of the hostages today. tell us about the palestinian side of the side of this, because gaza is just devastated, both in terms of the loss of human life, the loss of the structures there. most of the hospitals and shortages of just the most basic things. >> that's right. and i think that when you see the moments of celebration there, as they were counting down to this cease fire this morning, you get a sense of all that they have endured. at the same time, the smiles on

and one here sheba medical center, is the focus of where all three will be.except for their families. as they try to make a difficult reintegration process. there are specialized rooms. doctors, diatetitians and psychologists on-hand. >> on this significant day, the first round of hostages are handed over to israel, as the cease-fire and hostage release continues. our coverage will continue on cbs news, 24/7, in moments and on your local news. i'm errol barnett. for many of you, cbs news continues. this has been a cbs news special report.
