A number of Palestinian citizens were injured on Monday evening when the Israeli occupation forces (IO)F opened fire at the Palestinians taking part in the Great March of Return on Gaza coast.
According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society 10 Palestinians including a journalist paramedic and child were injured by live ammunition rubber-coated metal bullets and teargas canisters.
Spokesman for the National Committee to Break the Siege Adham Abu Salmiya on Sunday said that border protests will continue until the decade-long blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip is lifted.
Abu Salmiya praised the role played by Egypt Qatar and the United Nations to put an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Gaza coast marches over the past few weeks have been a major part of the Great March of Return which is aimed at pressuring Israel to lift Gaza siege and shedding light on the Palestinian refugees’ right to return.
Since the start of Gaza border protests on 30 March 230 Palestinians have been killed by the IOF including 40 children and 6 disabled people and over 23000 injured.
