"He told me not to cry, to tell mother I’m coming back," Roongarun Wichagern told Reuters of her younger brother after an emotional reunion on a video call. "He said, ‘I’m not dead, I’m not dead,’" Roongarun said, calling his survival a "miracle". The freed Thai hostages will return home after 48 hours in hospital, Thailand’s foreign ministry said in a statement. He called for the release of the remaining "innocent Thai hostages as soon as possible". Photographs from the Thai foreign ministry showed them meeting doctors at a medical centre in Israel.

Thai Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara wrote online that he was “overjoyed.”He had traveled more than three weeks ago to Egypt and Qatar to seek their help in obtaining the hostages’ freedom. “It is our deep hope that all remaining hostages will be taken care of, and will be safely released at the earliest opportunity,” the Thai Foreign Ministry said. The spokesman for the Qatari foreign ministry, Majed al-Ansari, posted on X that the number was 10. Prof. Hagai Levine, head of the medical team at the Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum, said that getting medical information about the Thai hostages' pre-existing conditions has been trickier than with released Israelis. According to Thailand's foreign ministry, 39 were killed in the Oct. 7 attacks, and 26 abducted.

☆ Studiu: Cercetătorii israelieni anunţă că au reuşit să inverseze procesul de îmbătrânire

Studiul, ale cărui rezultate sunt revoluţionare din punct de vedere medical, a fost derulat de cercetători de la Universitatea din Tel Aviv şi Shamir Medical Center (foto). Aceştia au utilizat o formă de tratament cu oxigen pentru a inversa evoulţia a doi indicatori esenţiali ai procesului de îmbătrânire: lungimea telomerilor şi acumularea de celule îmbătrânite. La sfârşitul experimentului, oamenii de ştiinţă au constatat o creştere medie în lungime a telomerilor de circa 20% în timp ce numărul de celule îmbătrânire s-a redus cu 37%, scrie antena3.ro. Cercetătorii spun că noile valori ale acestor indicatori corespund stării celulelor din organism cu 25 de ani în urmă. Ideea că îmbătrânirea este o boală şi i se poate găsi tratament a fost fructificată şi în perioada recentă.
