GAZA CITY, Occupied Territories: A Palestinian has died days after being shot by Israeli occupation forces along the Gaza border, the health ministry said on Tuesday.

Sari Al Shobaki had been transferred to occupied Jerusalem for treatment after being shot several days ago east of Gaza City, Gaza’s ministry said.

A ministry spokesman said the 23-year-old died at the St Joseph Hospital in occupied Jerusalem.

There was no immediate confirmation from the hospital.

At least 144 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli regime fire since protests broke out along the border on March 30.

No Israelis have been killed.

Critics accuse the regime of using disproportionate force against protesters.
