Home sweet home: Brian Ambrosio has a smile on his face as he emerges into the Australian sunshine. The teacher arrived at Melbourne Airport yesterday after his kidnapping ordeal.
"When it started to come on the television that we were kidnapped, they looked at us really excitedly, like young kids I started to freak out when I saw it on (Arab satellite channel) al-Jazeera," Mr Ambrosio said.
Surreally, the kidnappers extended every "comfort" to their victims.
"There are two sides to this story," he said. "You live here and you see the oppression. Gaza is the biggest outdoor prison in the world For the last two months we have had to deal with sonic booms day and night sometimes F16s fly low over Gaza from Israel and break the sound barrier at like 2am, 4am and 7 o'clock. People can't sleep, children are wetting beds."
