Gazans announce tent city protest along Israeli border

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are launching a tent city protest along the border with Israel next month to demand that Palestinian refugees and their descendants be able to return to what is now Israel, according to Reuters.

One of the organizers, Ahmed Abu Ayesh, says thousands of people will move to tents “at the nearest, safe point from the border.”

He says UN agencies in the Palestinian territory have been notified of the 6-week protest that is slated to begin March 30.
