Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza strip are continuing ‘Great March of Return’.

Protests along the Gaza fence since March 30 have led to clashes with Israeli forces, where at least 135 Palestinians, including 14 children, have been killed. Palestinian protesters demand their right to return to their homeland. Over 15,000 Palestinians have also sustained injuries.

Meanwhile, a Palestinian protester was killed and at least 396 others were wounded as Israeli artillery targeted demonstrators who gathered along Gaza-Israel border on the 15th consecutive Friday of the 'Great March of Return' nonviolent rallies, according to medical sources.

The Gaza Health Ministry said 396 Palestinians, including medics and journalists, were either injured by live bullets or suffered from suffocation due to inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli forces.
