A new batch of Gazan families were allowed on Monday to visit their relatives in the Israeli Ramon jail.
Spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross Suheir Zaqout said that 17 Palestinians including three children left the blockaded Gaza Strip to visit 12 Palestinian detainees in Ramon lock-up.
About 250 Palestinians are languishing in Ramon jail which was built in early 2006 near Nafha prison in the Negev desert.
Over 7000 Palestinians are locked up in Israeli jails under difficult detention conditions including 300 Gazans. Statistics say that 214 prisoners have died in Israeli jails due to medical negligence.
