On the Gaza-Israel border women are an integral part of the tent protests that have transformed a once-deserted restricted zone. Some provide food, water and social media support – and some, although in much smaller numbers than men, roll burning tyres and hurl stones at the Israeli border fence. Since March 30, when the protests began, hundreds of women have taken part, sometimes with their entire families. There have been no women among the dead although at least 250 women have been wounded. Riding on a donkey cart, 48-year-old Jehad Abu Muhsen brought the youths 15 tyres to burn.
