One Palestinian killed and hundreds injured in Gaza protests
More than 360 wounded by bullets and tear gas, in the third week of demonstrations

Israeli forces stationed on the Gaza frontier have killed one person and wounded hundreds of Palestinians, who were demonstrating for the third week in a row.
Health officials in Gaza said 363 people were injured by live ammunition and tear gas inhalation, although they did not provide a breakdown. They said a Gazan journalist was in a serious condition after being shot in the abdomen.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society, a humanitarian organisation, has said one of its medics was shot in the knee.
Rights groups accuse Israel of wanton use of live fire. Israel says the protests are a cynical ploy by Gaza’s rulers Hamas to stage attacks, including using explosives, or to breach the border.
