good afternoon, everybody. i m martha maccallum. we re getting new indications of movement of 11 hostages. this is a huge moment for these people and their families. they re in the hands of the red cross, a huge relief for these people who have been held for more than 50 days. they re finally headed guard freedom. we understand no americans are included in this group. we have followed very closely the one child, abigail adan, that was released. she s an american citizen. she was released during this pause period that we ve been in for several days now. this child went through absolute hell. her smile is testimony to the resilience of children. but somewhere in her conscious is a horrific experience she watched. the terrorists killed her parents in front of her. her father had used himself as a shield to protect his little girl. he was killed. she then had to crawl out, according to this story that has been told, from under his body. she then ran to a neighbor s and then hamas
