GAZA, (PIC)– Relatives of 40 Gaza prisoners held in Israeli jails assembled in front of the Red Cross in Gaza city and boarded buses at dawn Monday en route to the northern Beit Hanun (Erez) crossing.

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.
