Gaza: Red Cross facilitates prison visits for 50 relatives

Tuesday 7-August-2018

Several Palestinian families from the besieged Gaza Strip were able on Monday to visit their relatives in an Israeli jail.

Red Cross spokeswoman Amani al-Na’ouq told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the committee facilitated the trip from Gaza to Nafha jail for 50 members of families including 13 children through the Beit Hanoun (Erez) border crossing.

Every once in a while the Israeli occupation authority allows through the Red Cross a few members of families from Gaza to visit their relatives in jails and bans many others from seeing their relatives for unexplained security reasons.

A total of 380 men whose families are from the Gaza Strip are detained in Israeli prisons.
