DOCTORS Without Borders or Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams were ready to take care of hundreds of injured people on March 30 in Gaza as the weekly protests there entered their first year (pic). More than 190 have been killed and 6,800 shot and injured by the Israeli army during the protests.

In the end, “only” four people were killed and 64 injured by live fire on March 30. MSF’s field communications manager in Jerusalem, Jacob Burns, reflected on what it means when such a devastating toll of injuries comes to be considered a “good” day.
