East Jerusalem became the scene of violent clashes between Palestinians and the Israeli police on Saturday for the second day in a row.
More than 90 people were injured in the evening, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
The protest is sparked by the threat of eviction for Palestinian families in a neighborhood of the city.
The escalation of violence is a cause for international concern.
"There were 90 injured," a spokesman for the Palestinian Red Crescent told the AFP news agency.
Initially, the aid organization assumed slightly more than 50 people were injured.
Most were injured by rubber bullets or stun grenades by the Israeli police.
Minors are also among the victims.
Especially in the old city of Jerusalem and in the East Jerusalem district of Sheikh Jarrah, the Palestinians took to the streets to protest against the threatened evictions there.
They attacked the Israeli security forces with stones.
According to the Reuters news agency, young people also lit fire and destroyed barricades that were supposed to block access to the old town.

The emergency services used water cannons, rubber bullets and stun grenades and tried to drive the demonstrators away with foul-smelling water, as an AFP reporter reported.
Clashes the evening before
The previous evening there had been clashes on the Temple Mount and in other parts of East Jerusalem, in which more than 200 people were injured.
It was the most violent clashes since 2017, when the Israeli authorities tried to set up security gates with metal detectors at the holy site, unleashing the anger of the Palestinians.
On Saturday evening it remained quiet on the Temple Mount, where Muslim believers prayed after breaking the fast in the evening without incident.

Meanwhile, a rocket was fired into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip;
the Israeli army said it had attacked positions of the radical Islamic ruling Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas called on the Palestinians to remain on the Temple Mount until Thursday, the end of the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan.
At the same time, the Israel organization threatened attacks if the Supreme Court approves the evictions of Palestinian families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in favor of Jewish settlers.
The verdict is expected on Monday.
Netanyahu: authorities act "responsibly"
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country’s authorities were acting “responsibly” by enforcing the law and allowing the freedom to practice one's religion.
The police had limited access to the old city to prevent other Palestinians from joining the protests.
A bus coming from the south of the city was stopped and some Palestinian inmates were arrested.
The Middle East Quartet, made up of the UN, EU, Russia and the US, expressed "deep concern" about the events in Jerusalem.
Israel was called to exercise "restraint".
