Noga, the aunt of captivity survivor Nimrod Cohen, told ynet that "physically he is thin and weak, pale and has not seen sunlight. You can see on his face that he went through a difficult period and we fear that he also endured torture." She added: "We are optimistic, but we still don't know all the details and are waiting for him to tell us. We have no intention of pressuring him. Despite all this, I also saw his smile. Nimrod is a quiet and gentle boy with a half-shy smile that says it all. We are so happy to see him and that he held on for two years in such conditions. We are happy that we are behind this, that he managed to get through it safely."
