Bader Abu Alia, the family member of a Palestinian prisoner who was set to be released, said the relatives of the detainees came with young children to welcome their loved ones, Al Jazeera reports.
The families waited in the cold weather and rain all day, he said.
“We came with our wives and children, as you can see, all these are family members and we were surprised to see that there is a delay. This time that passes is burdening us, it’s heavy, every minute feels like an hour or day,” Abu Alia told Reuters.
“As you see, people are devastated. Hopefully God will help them and they will be released as soon as possible,” he added.
