Tensions In Gaza Remain High After Continuous Border Clashes With Israel

KHAN YUNIS, GAZA - MAY 12: (EDITORS NOTE: Image depicts death.) The body of Jabir Abu Mustafa is brought through the streets of Khan Yunis during his funeral on May 12, 2018 in Khan Yunis, Gaza. Mustafa (40), who had five children, was killed yesterday by an Israeli sniper while participating in demonstrations along Gaza's border with Israel. For the 1.9 million Palestinians living inside the Gaza Strip life has become a daily struggle for food, electricity and money after 10 years of an Israeli blockade on the area. The protests have so far left 40 Palestinian dead and over 1,700 wounded by Israeli army fire. Gaza's Hamas rulers have vowed that the marches will continue until the decade-old Israeli blockade of the territory is lifted. On May 15 the protests will culminate to mark the 'nakba' or catastrophe, to commemorate the anniversary of their mass uprooting during the 1948 war over Israel's creation.
