Expressing solidarity with prisoners in Zionist regime's jails, hundreds of Palestinians gathered outside the offices of ICRC in Gaza City on Monday to urge the international body to do more to release jailed Palestinians.

Former Palestinian prisoner Hanaa Shalabi, who spent 44 days on hunger strike in a Zionist jail before being released and transferred to Gaza, also attended the protest.

The event comes in preparation for the Palestinian Prisoners Day on April 17th.

Shalabi had been on a hunger strike since February 16, when she was re-arrested without charge after being released earlier as part of a prisoner swap deal between Hamas movement and the Israeli regime.
