Palestinians gathered for the third consecutive Friday at the Gaza-Israel border fence for what was labelled "burning the flag of Israel day".

In five different locations, Israeli flags were burned and Palestinian flags hoisted in their places.

It's all part of what is called the Great March of Return which will continue until May 15th, the day Palestinians refer to as the Nakba or Catastrophe, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced off their land in the conflict that culminated in the creation of Israel in 1948.

Israeli soldiers are using live ammunition to fire at the protesters.

The Palestinian Health Ministry says 33 people have died during the last two weeks, including three children and a journalist. 3,000 people have been wounded.

Despite the risks, the Palestinians are refusing to give up. But what can they achieve?
