Deaths rise in protests after US embassy opens in Jerusalem
Fifty-five Palestinians have been killed and more than two-thousand wounded during clashes between protestors and Israeli military on the Gaza border. Gaza's health ministry, run by Hamas, says children were among those killed. The clashes came at the same time as the opening of a new US embassy in Jerusalem. Akram Al Sattari is an activist and political commentator and was in Gaza among the protestors and said the response by the Israeli military was disproportionately violent.
