Israeli authorities denied on Tuesday the Palestinian female prisoner Nasreen Abu Kamil who was recently released from an Israeli prison from crossing into Gaza to reunite with her family.
Nasreen Abu Kamil had earlier received a call from her lawyer informing her that she can enter the Gaza Strip under some Israeli conditions.
However she was prevented from crossing Beit Hanoun checkpoint into the besieged Strip.
Born in the city of Haifa north of 1948 Occupied Palestine Nasreen Abu Kamil holds an Israeli ID. However she is married to a Palestinian man living in Gaza with whom she has seven children.
“Five days before my release I submitted a letter demanding to return to Gaza” the 47-year old woman said. “But they (Israeli authorities) said there is no coordination.”
The ex-detainee said her seven children and other relatives were not allowed to visit her during her time in jail and appealed to “everyone who can do something to help her to return to her family in Gaza.”
“I want to return to my children and my husband” Abu Kamil pleaded insisting that she does not want to stay anywhere else.
“I ask the whole world and anyone with a conscience to check into my case and to provide me with any help to see my children” she said. “That will make me happy.”
Abu Kamil arrived in al-Khalil in the southern West Bank on Monday evening after her request to cross into Gaza was rejected. There she was received by former prisoners.
