Ministry: 100 protesters wounded, including two journalists

Less than two hours since the official beginning of Friday's protest, the Gaza Health Ministry reported that more than 100 Palestinians had been treated for wounds or due to excessive tear gas inhalation, with at least one person in critical condition.

The ministry also stated that two journalists were injured: AFP photographer Mohammed al-Baba was shot in the right foot with a live bullet, while an unidentified Al-Aqsa TV cameraman was hit in the back by a tear gas canister. Both were reported to be in moderate condition.
