(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Za june 08 (qna) - banks in the gaza strip remained closed sunday morning with thousands of palestinian authority employees line up in front of the banks in the hope of receiving their salaries.
eyewitnesses said today that policemen were standing in front of the banks.
the crisis began on wednesday when gaza-based palestinian authority public sector employees went to withdraw their salaries from atm machines but were prevented from doing so by security officers.
despite the fact that the governor of the palestinian monetary fund jihad al-wazir was quoted in a statement sunday morning as saying that all gaza banks should be operating normally eyewitnesses told (ma'an) news agency that bank employees on sunday were denied entry to bank buildings.
on thursday the union of public sector employees in the gaza strip blamed the newly-formed unity government for the chaos saying that it was discriminating between west bank and gaza employees and should take responsibility for paying all salaries according to ma'an. (qna)
