The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that 97 Palestinians injured by the Zionist regime forces in the 81st round of the weekly Great March of Return rallies in eastern Gaza Strip.

Iran Press/Middle East: The ministry said that 55 of the wounded were injured by live ammunition.

Almost 270 protesters have been martyred -- and thousands more wounded -- by Israeli forces at the security fence areas with Gaza since the rallies began in March last year.

Palestinian demonstrators demand an end to Israel’s 12-year-old blockade of the Gaza Strip, which has shattered the coastal enclave’s economy and deprived its 2 million inhabitants of free movement in and out from Gaza.
