At least 93 people were injured after Israeli forces fired teargas and gunfire at Palestinian protesters gathered on the seashore in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday, where they were participating in a naval march against the 12-year-long maritime blockade of the strip.

Palestinian activists reportedly used around 50 fishing boats to advance towards the Israeli sea border in an act of defiance against Israel's long-standing blockade on Gaza.

Following the gunfire, demonstrators were forced to stop their advance and return to shore.

The march was reportedly organised by Gaza's National Committee for Breaking the Siege.
