Gaza hospitals paralyzed by strike

Medical workers in Gaza have gone on  strike because they haven't been paid since the "unity government" took over seven months ago.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza (which is still Hamas, despite officially reporting to Ramallah) announced on Sunday morning that medical workers stopped all work in surgery, nurseries and intensive care units at all Gaza hospitals.

There are a lot of games being played between Hamas and Fatah, and putting people's lives at risk is just unimportant collateral damage in their political struggle. Until they can find a way to blame Israel, that is.
