GAZA CITY (Ma’an) -- A group of Gaza families left the the coastal enclave early on Monday to visit relatives in Israeli jails, a prisoners group said.
Around 30 people left Gaza to see imprisoned relatives in Israel in the third visit of its kind since 2007, Gaza-based prisoners group Waed said.
"Israeli authorities do not allow young children to visit their relatives in Israel’s custody," director of Waed, Sabir Abu Karsh, said. The pretext given by Israel is that these visits are experimental, he added.
Ayman Shihabi, the public information officer of the International Committee of the Red Cross, told Ma'an that the ICRC would continue to coordinate with all parties to make sure the visit is successful. more
