When armed Hamas terrorists invaded her home on Oct. 7, Karina Engelbert was still recovering from a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery that had gone terribly awry.
She was weak and easily fatigued, and a buildup of painful scar tissue on her chest caused tightness, limiting her mobility.
He has not received any information about his sister’s condition, and she has not been visited by the International Red Cross, he said.
Ms. Engelbert is one of about 240 hostages abducted from Israel, many of whom need urgent medical attention.
And then there were those who sustained potentially life-threatening injuries in the raid itself, which killed an estimated 1,200 people, most of them civilians.
