It has been 365 days since the Great March of Return began.
The protests, calling for an end to Israel's 11-year siege of the Gaza Strip and the right of return for Palestinians expelled from their homes in what is now Israel, has transformed from a six-week movement into roiling, weekly demonstrations.
They have also been deadly. From the beginning, the Israeli army has cracked down on the overwhelmingly peaceful protestors. Ahead of Saturday, 197 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army during the protests and 29,000 wounded, according to the UN.
Already today there has been a fatality. Mohammad Jehad Saad, 20, died from a shrapnel wound from Israeli tank fire east of Gaza City, Gaza's health ministry announced this morning.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians are expected to protest along Gaza's frontier with Israel. Meanwhile, Palestinians in Israel and the occupied West Bank will be demonstrating to mark Land Day, where Palestinians rail against Israeli persecution and assert their connection to land in historic Palestine.
Middle East Eye will be following events across Gaza, Israel and the West Bank throughout the day.
