| B’Tselem to UN Secretary General: Protect Lives of Palestinian Protestors | | B’Tselem - “Many of them died immediately, or shortly after, they were hit […]
Like so many other Palestinians in Gaza, it is highly likely that they never had a
chance to leave the small patch of land […] which is the Gaza Strip. They lived
their lives without any political rights, devoid of any hope for a reasonable
future, totally subject to the decisions and policies of the Israeli government” [ry] | 30/4/2018 |

13th of April, and later died on the 25th of April in Tel Hashomer

Hussein came under Israeli sniper fire, despite the fact he was at a
distance of 350-meters from the border fence. Israel has previously
declared its "right to defend the border" from demonstrators that
come within 300-meters.The 24-year-old journalist from Jabaliya
refugee camp worked as a journalist for the Gaza-based Al Shaab
radio station, as well as a photographer for Bisan. According to
eye-witnesses, he was wearing a helmet, as well as a protective vest

"Nofal, one of two financial judges in the Gaza court, said he heard
12,000 cases last year, up 50 percent from the year before. The
value of checks bounced in the territory surged to $112 million last
year, according to the Palestine Monetary Authority. In 2016, the
figure was $62 million.Desperate for small loans, Gazans seek credit
wherever they can, Nofal said. Often, for instance, people turn to
electronics stores that offer products on credit, signing up to buy
televisions or washing machines on installment plans, then
immediately selling those appliances to get cash.When they fail to
pay their creditors, a domino effect of defaults is triggered, Nofal
said." ca
