47 Gazans visit relatives detained in Israeli desert prison

The Red Cross organized the travel of 47 Gazans to 1948 occupied Palestine on Monday to visit relatives detained in the Israeli Nafha desert jail.

Nasser Annajar, Red Cross media official, told the PIC that the 47 relatives, including 12 children, headed in buses to Erez crossing then to the Nafha jail to visit 23 prisoners.

The Israeli occupation authority allowed visits to Gaza prisoners after six years of ban following an agreement with Palestinian prisoners who went on hunger strike en masse to ask for a number of demands including allowing visits to Gaza prisoners.
