Injuries near thousand, half from live fire

Almost 1,000 Palestinians have been injured as Israeli forces reportedly use live fire more indiscriminately than in recent weeks of protest. 

At least 448 Palestinians have been wounded by live bullets, with more than 50 considered critical, according to the Gaza health ministry's spokesman Dr Ashraf al-Qudreh. 

By contrast, 146 Palestinians were injured by live fire during the most recent protests on Friday 11 May.
