Great March of Return

The Great March of Return was a series of protests that began in March 2018, organized by Palestinian activists in Gaza. Demonstrators demanded the right to return to their ancestral homes lost during the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict and called for an end to the blockade affecting Gaza's economy and daily life. These protests often involved marches to the Gaza-Israel border fence, sometimes resulting in clashes with Israeli military forces. The protests aimed to highlight longstanding humanitarian issues and seek political change, but they also led to significant violence and casualties on both sides.
