An Israeli child, who is the sole survivor of a deadly cable car crash in Italy, was released from hospital on Thursday, health authorities said.
Doctors added the five-year-old's condition was "much improved".
Fourteen people, including Eitan's Israeli parents, younger brother and great-grandparents, were killed in the May 24 accident after a cable snapped on the aerial tram bringing weekend visitors to the top of the Piedmont region's Mottarone mountain.
"Early this morning Eitan was discharged from the Isola Margherita ward of the Regina Margherita hospital," said the Turin children's hospital in a statement.
The child - who had suffered from severe chest and abdomen injuries - returned home to Pavia, south of Milan, with his aunt, the hospital said.
"His condition is much improved now," said the statement, adding that a full recovery would take 60 days.
Eitan was also told Wednesday of his family's death in the accident.
A lawyer for the family told the Italian language La Repubblica newspaper that Eitan was explained what had happened. "This will be a long and complex process," he said, adding that it is still unclear when he will be able to return to Israel.
The cable car accident, which came at the start of Italy's much-anticipated reopening to tourists after coronavirus closures, was the country's worst in over two decades.
It remains unclear why the pull cable snapped just before the car reached the summit on the 20-minute trip up the mountain.
Investigations have revealed, however, that emergency brakes that could have prevented the tragedy by stopping the car on its supporting cable had been deactivated.
Because the brake was not activated, the car flew backwards and crashed to the ground, sliding down the mountain before coming to a stop.
Police arrested the owner of the cable car operating company and a technical director, but released them soon thereafter pending an investigation.
The company's chief technician, however, remains under house arrest. He has admitted to disabling the brake system because of recurring malfunctions, according to the chief prosecutor.
Eitan, who was airlifted in critical condition to the hospital after the accident, spent a week in intensive care with his aunt at his bedside.
