Human rights sources told the PIC reporter that the relatives would visit the prisoners in Nafha jail.

This is the second batch of visits to the imprisoned Gazans as the first one took relatives of 25 prisoners on a preliminary test visit last week.

All 450 Gaza prisoners have been deprived of family visits for the past six years.
