A Palestinian youngster died on Thursday morning of wounds sustained on Friday after the Israeli army attacked protesters during the Great March of Return across Gaza’s eastern borders.
The Palestinian Health Ministry identified in a statement the casualty as 19-year-old Anas Shawki Abu Asr.
Shawki’s death brings the number of Palestinians killed by the Israeli military during the Great March of Return protests initiated on March 30 to 50. Five casualties have had their bodies withheld by the Israeli occupation authorities.
