Gaza, 27 Rabi’ul Akhir 1436/17 February 2015 (MINA)– A group of 93 Palestinians from Gaza visited relatives jailed in Israel on Monday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said.

Spokesperson Suhair Zaqqut told Ma’an that the group included 28 Palestinians under the age of 14 who visited 43 Palestinians held in Rimon jail.

There are around 450 Palestinians from Gaza in Israeli prison custody, Ma’an News Agency quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

Israel stopped prison visits for Palestinians in Gaza when Hamas took control of the coastal territory, before reinstating them in July 2012.

Visits were then briefly stopped again following the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers in 2014. (T/P010/R03)
