IN PICTURES: Another deadly day on Gaza-Israel border
Thousands of Palestinian protesters gather near the security barrier with Israel, burning mounds of tyres and throwing stones at Israeli soldiers over the border fence.
The Gaza border with Israel has been enflamed by violence since Israeli forces opened fire on a protest march on March 30, martyring 19 Palestinians.
It was the deadliest single day in the territory since a 2014 war with Israel, and led to new riots, clashes and deaths.
On April 6, a week since the violence broke out, thousands of Palestinians gathered again near the security barrier. They burned mounds of tyres and threw stones at Israeli soldiers over the border fence. The Israeli forces responded with tear gas and live fire, martyring several Palestinians, including a 16-year-old.
More than 400 others were taken to hospitals and medical centres for treatment.
