ICRC - Operational Update/ Gaza hostages

LIBREVILLE, November 25 (Infosplusgabon) - Today, in our role as a neutral intermediary, we successfully facilitated the release and transfer of 17 hostages from Gaza to the Rafah border. We also facilitated the release of 33 Palestinian detainees from Israeli places of detention to the West Bank.

These releases are part of our multi-day operation, which includes the entry of needed aid into Gaza.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is a neutral, impartial and independent organization with an exclusively humanitarian mandate that stems from the Geneva Conventions of 1949. It helps people around the world affected by armed conflict and other violence, doing everything it can to protect their lives and dignity and to relieve their suffering, often alongside its Red Cross and Red Crescent partners.
