Released Palestinian detainee Hana’a Shalabi arrived in the Gaza Strip on Sunday afternoon via the Beit Hanun (Erez) crossing.
Shalabi arrived to an official, popular welcome and was taken to Shifa hospital for a medical check-up after about 50 days of hunger strike in Israeli jails.
She said on arrival she was pleased to be in Gaza because “I am in my country and among my family”.
Shalabi was on hunger strike in protest against her administrative detention, without trial or charge. The Israeli occupation authority decided to free but deport her after her health condition seriously deteriorated due to the long hunger strike.
