GAZA--The Palestinian health ministry said Friday that scores of Palestinians were injured by Israeli occupation forces during their participation in the return marches in the eastern Gaza Strip, one of whom described his condition as "critical."
The ministry said in a brief statement that today 37 citizens were injured by live bullets in the east of the Gaza Strip, noting that among the injuries were 6 children and 9 females, and the volunteer paramedic Palestine Kodeih.
She explained that the medical crews dealt with the critical condition of one of the injured in the neck and arrived at the European Gaza Hospital.
In the afternoon, the Palestinians began the thirty-third Friday of the return marches, which bears the name "Our marches continue."
The Palestinians have been participating in peaceful marches in the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestinian territories in 1948 since March March, demanding the return of the refugees to their towns and villages in 1948 and breaking the siege of Gaza.
These peaceful marches are violently repressed by the occupying army, where heavy fire and poisonous gas bombs are fired at the demonstrators. This resulted in the martyrdom of 232 citizens, including 11 martyrs whose bodies were detained and not registered in the statements of the Palestinian Ministry of Health, while another 22,000 were injured, including 500 in high-risk situations.
