‘Terrible massacre’: Israel kills 55, injures 2,771 Gaza protesters as US embassy opens in Jerusalem
Fifty-five
Palestinian protesters, including six children under 18, have been
killed by Israeli fire during demonstrations on the day of the US
embassy's inauguration in Jerusalem, the Palestinian health ministry
said Monday.
More
than 2,700 protesters have been injured in Gaza on what has been the
most violent day of the six week long Great March of Return. Those
wounded on Monday include 203 children and 78 women, according to the
ministry.
The
Palestinian government denounced Monday’s violence as a “terrible
massacre” perpetrated “by the forces of the Israeli occupation”,
and called for an immediate international intervention to prevent
further deaths. A day of national mourning has been declared by the
government in Ramallah, to be held Tuesday.
