The son of Ada Sagi, who is from Britain and Israel, talked to the media after his 75-year-old mother was freed from Gaza last night.
Noam Sagi talked about what happened when they were reunited on BBC Radio 4’s Today show.
“It was an amazing night,” Noam says. “So many ideas and dreams and concerns and effort – everything led up to that moment. ”
To feel my mom – just to feel her breathing, her heartbeat, and to look into her eyes and see that she is okay and herself. “is really amazing in lots of ways. ”
Noam spent a long night with Ada, her other kids, and grandkids just holding hands and reconnecting on a deep level.
He says that after being held captive for 53 days without the freedom to make her own choices, the idea that she has more control over her life is amazing to Ada.
“Noam says she is very positive. She was concerned about us. ”
He doesn’t want to talk about what happened to Ada because his family is more focused on helping her get better. They are working with psychologists to understand what happened to her on 7 October.
