The hours spent waiting for British-Israeli hostage Emily Damari to be released from Gaza have been agonizing for her family. Damari is one of three Israeli hostages expected to be released from Gaza on Sunday, following the start of a long-awaited ceasefire.
According to a representative, these final few hours have been the most agonizing after nearly 500 days of unending torment for Damari's family. The representative mentioned that Damari's mother has been eagerly awaiting the moment when she can see her daughter alive and give her a hug she's been dreaming of. The proximity to this long-awaited reunion has intensified the pain for the family.
