Israeli forces allowed on Monday scores of Gazans to visit their relatives jailed in Nafha prison, spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross Sohair Zaqout said.

Families of 40 Palestinian detainees headed for Beit Hanoun (Erez) crossing north of the Strip to visit their loved ones in Nafha prison, she added.

About 400 Gazans are still jailed in Israeli prisons

Israel has resumed the family visit program for Gaza Strip prisoners after a six-year suspension following the signing of an agreement between the Palestinian Prisoners' Club and Israeli prison administration in 2012 after a hunger strike by Palestinian prisoners that lasted for 28 days.
