Tel Aviv [Israel], June 10 (ANI/TPS): Nearly 39 per cent of the relatives of Israeli hostages in Gaza suffer from mental, neurological, and exhaustion-related health issues, the Knesset Health Committee was told on Tuesday. Experts from the Abducted Families Headquarters told lawmakers of the higher prevalence of conditions such as anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, and functional decline.

Officials also reported widespread struggles with navigating the medical system, while 36 per cent of family members reportedly forgo care due to emotional distress. The Health Administration pledged ongoing support, including personal medical coordinators and streamlined services for affected families. (ANI/TPS)

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
