At least 37 Palestinians were shot and injured by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) at the eastern borders of the besieged Gaza Strip on Friday.
According to the PIC reporter 25 youths were injured with live bullets after Israeli forces opened fire at Palestinian protesters near the eastern borders while dozens suffered from tear-gas inhalation.
Meanwhile the Qatari Ambassador Mohammed Al-Emadi visited Al-Awda refugee camp to be the first Arab diplomat to visit the Great March of Return protests along Gaza borders.
Earlier Friday hundreds of Palestinians started joining the 33rd Friday of protests which have been organized this Friday under the title “The March Continues.”
For nearly seven months Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have protested along the fence with Israel demanding their right to return to the homes and land their families were expelled from 70 years ago.
They are also demanding an end to Israel’s crippling blockade of the Gaza Strip which has gutted the coastal enclave’s economy and deprived its two million inhabitants of many basic commodities.
Since the Great March of Return demonstrations began on March 30 more than 200 Palestinians have been killed and thousands more wounded by Israeli troops deployed along the other side of the fence.
