"A 12-year-old Palestinian teenager, who was injured last Saturday [21 August] when Israeli militants opened fire on Palestinian protesters on the border with the enclave has died," the statement said.
On 21 August, Palestinians held a rally on the border of the Gaza Strip to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of an arson attack on Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque and to protest the occupation of the Palestinian territories by Israel.
Around 40 people were injured during the unrest, and one of them died several days later.
