Gaza families confirm prisoners alive
The Palestinian Association for the Missing and Involuntarily Disappeared reported that a large number of Palestinian families were unaware that their loved ones were alive inside Israeli prisons until they received contacts from the International Red Cross. The Red Cross provided a list of more than 8,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees, including 828 from the Gaza Strip. This revealed that 127 detainees from Gaza are still alive, despite information being withheld from their families since the start of the war in October 2023. This situation highlights the ongoing practice of enforced disappearance and the Israeli authorities’ policy of information concealment. Additionally, estimates suggest that more than 7,000 Palestinians are missing in Gaza, some believed to be trapped under the rubble or subjected to enforced disappearance. International organizations have called for pressure on Israel to provide comprehensive and updated lists of detainees, disclose their locations, ensure families’ rights to know and visit, and initiate an independent international investigation into the allegations of enforced disappearance.
