GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Mohammed Aliwa, 18, did not lose hope despite losing his right lower leg after being shot by Israeli snipers in 2018, while taking part in the return marches in eastern Gaza City.
Palestinian factions had organized a series of protests, dubbed the Great Marches of Return, each Friday along the Gaza-Israel border starting on March 30, 2018, to demand lifting the Israeli siege on Gaza.
