21 wounded citizens underwent amputations in the Gaza Strip due to severe bullet injuries they suffered during their participation in March of Return protests which have been taking place recently in different border areas.
According to the health ministry in Gaza four of those wounded citizens had amputations in their upper extremities and 17 others in their lower parts as a result of their exposure to live fire by Israeli soldiers.
Israeli soldiers’ use of live ammunition to attack March of Return protesters in Gaza has rendered 42 Palestinians dead and over 5000 others wounded since March 30.
