Thousands of Palestinians attend the “March of Return” east of the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, close to the border with Israel. The "March of Return," is a series of mass protests along the Israel-Gaza border intending to highlight the right to return to Israel for those Palestinians who fled or were driven from their homes in the 1948 war over Israel's declaration of independence. It also aims at putting pressure on Israel to lift the decade-long blockade on the Gaza Strip
