PALESTINIANS PROTEST FOR RELEASE OF FAMILY MEMBERS IN GAZA

Palestinian women and children attend a protest in the courtyard of the International Red Cross headquarters in Gaza City on June 25, 2007. Thousands of Palestinians are calling for the release of Palestinian prisoners that are being held in Israeli jails. Some families are asking for their sons to be exchanged with Israeli hostage Gilad Shalit. Exactly one year after the kidnapping of Shalit, an Israeli soldier, Hamas has released an audio message by him in which he says his health is deteriorating and that he is in need of medical attention.
