Gaza, Palestine, 30th March 2019. Palestinian demonstrators clash with Israeli soldiers in Abu Safiya, east of the town of Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip, during this week Great March of Return protest, with Hamas' political bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh making an appearance at the Abu Safiya site. Thousands of Palestinians had gathered at different sites alongside the eastern borders of the Gaza Strip to take part in the weekly march to break the ongoing Israeli siege and to mark Land Day and the first anniversary of the Great March of Return rallies, and according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, a 17-years-old protester was killed and dozens injured by Israeli troops who had fired live and rubber bullets as well as tear gas at them. Since March 30th 2018, Palestinians have been demanding an end to the 12 year blockade imposed on Gaza by Israel and supported by Egypt, and more than 250 Palestinian demonstrators have been killed and over 23,000 have been injured by the Israeli army since then. This Saturday mass rally was organised on the first anniversary of the launch of the Great March of Return protests and to commemorate Land Day. Land Day falls every year on 30th March to remember the killing of six unarmed Palestinians and the wounding of one hundred during a general strike called in protest at the expropriation of 21,000 dunams of Palestinian land by Israel
