South African paramedic Gerco van Deventer is recuperating at a hospital in Algeria just days after he was finally released from Al-Qaeda captivity.
Humanitarian organisation Gift of the Giver founder Imtiaaz Sooliman said since Van Deventer's release on Saturday, there had been no further updates as to when he could board a flight back home.
Van Deventer was taken hostage in Libya six years ago. He was then sold to the militant group Al-Qaeda.
