The last 20 living hostages released by Hamas are beginning a difficult path to recovery that will include rebuilding a sense of control over their lives and following a carefully supervised diet. That's according to Israeli health officials. Along the way, each one will be accompanied by a team of doctors, nurses, specialists and social workers to guide their reentry to society after two years of captivity in Gaza. The process includes treating malnutrition and pain, along with confronting emotions and relearning how to make everyday decisions. All of the hostages were in stable condition Monday following their release, and none required immediate intensive care.
