GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in the Gaza Strip staged a partial strike on Tuesday, a member of the employees' union told Ma'an.
Medical centers affiliated to the UNRWA were shut down from 8 a.m to 9.30 a.m., said Suheil al-Hindi, a member of the union of UNRWA employees.
He added that Gaza schools run by the agency would go on strike after the third class as well.
The protest, he explained, is meant to exert pressure on the agency's administration to urge them to adhere to an agreement the agency signed with the union of employees.
According to the agreement, employees are scheduled to receive a salary increase for the first time in two years. more
