Hanan Abu Saa, representing the women, said in front of the journalists: "Our message to the international community is to intervene to solve our human issue that is far from politics.

She pointed out that among the married women and others who are engaged, they have not been able for many years, up to 16 years, to enter or even obtain a visitor permit to the West Bank, noting that their husbands also cannot enter the Strip because of the racist occupation policies.

We want to live and have a life only, we do not want to fight and we do not want to harm anyone." ".
