HeadlineMar 29, 2019

And organizers in Gaza have called for a “million-strong” demonstration Saturday, on the first anniversary of the start of the Great March of Return protests at the occupied enclave’s separation barrier with Israel. A recent U.N. report found that 189 Palestinians were killed between March 30 and December 31 last year. Local reports put the total number of deaths at over 200, with thousands of others wounded. Israel has ramped up its military presence in preparation for the demonstration.
