The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) allowed 40 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to visit their relatives held in Israeli Nafha jail on Tuesday.

A spokeswoman for the Red Cross, Suhair Zaqout, confirmed that the Committee has organized a visit for the Gaza prisoners’ families.

40 relatives of 25 prisoners were packed into buses organized by the Red Cross and headed to the Nafha desert prison through the Israel-controlled Erez crossing in the northern Gaza Strip, the Red Cross spokeswoman clarified.

4,550 Palestinians are held in Israeli jails, including 27 women, 175 children, and 670 administrative detainees.
