Amna Nawaz:
So far, about 70 hostages have been released by Hamas over four days of a cease-fire, and as many as 175 people remain held in Gaza.
We turn to someone with family members in both situations.
Dori Roberts is the cousin of Doron Katz-Asher, who was just freed by Hamas, along with her two daughters, Raz, who is 4, and Aviv, who is 2. But Dori's aunt, Doron's mother, Efrat Katz, was killed by Hamas en route to Gaza. And Efrat's partner, Gadi Moses, and another of Dori's cousins, Ravid Katz, remained held hostage.
Dori Roberts joins us now.
Dori, let's just begin with what a bittersweet moment this must be for you and your family. But let's start with Doron and Raz and Aviv, who were released. How are they doing? What can you tell us?
Dori Roberts, Family Member of Hamas Hostages: Well, I think you can see on my smile. That is, they're doing much better. They're surrounded by family and by loved ones. They're back in home.
They're back in their home now after medical examinations and after surrounding themselves with the medical teams, mental health workers, social workers, and, of course, family. They're very delighted to be home. They're doing well. They're undergoing, after 50 days at the hostages, all of them have been held by the Hamas as hostages.
And they're finally home and they're safe. And this is why we're trying to provide them that safety and that hugging, loving family care that they will need from now until — for quite a while, until they're fully recovered.
