According to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, 37 Palestinians were released in Ramallah, the central part of the occupied West Bank, and five in East Jerusalem.
A prisoner received by the Palestine Red Crescent Society, in a coma, was transferred to a hospital in the West Bank.

A total of 456 Palestinians were released and transferred to Gaza, according to Saleh Al-Hams, director of nursing at the Gaza European Hospital in Khan Younis.
“The prisoners were in a very emaciated condition, some of them were unable to walk due to the severe beatings and torture they had been subjected to,” Hams said.
“Most of the prisoners were suffering from skin diseases, and one case was hospitalized overnight due to pulmonary fibrosis,” he added. []
