The Global March to Gaza is a civilian-led initiative to march from Arish, Egypt, to the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip beginning on Sunday. Once in Rafah, the goal was to set up a camp and work to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza, provide humanitarian aid to the strip and protest against Israel's actions in the territory.

Palestinians are reported to have been killed and wounded in another shooting as they gathered near an aid distribution site in central Gaza.According to Palestinian journalists, those killed were fired on by Israeli troops.
