The 2019 Gaza economic protests, also called the We Want to Live protests[2][1][3] and the 14th March movement,[1] were a series of protests held in the Gaza Strip in response to high costs of living and tax hikes. Moumen Al-Natour is the main organizer of We Want to Live movement, Al-Natour is a Palestinian lawyer and human rights defender.
The protests were met with violence by the ruling Hamas, which dispatched security forces to disperse protesters.[2] Several human rights organisations and political factions have denounced attacks on protesters by Hamas security forces.[2] The protests were described as the most severe anti-regime protests in Gaza since the Hamas takeover in 2007.[1]
