GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — At post offices across the Gaza Strip Aug. 17, Gaza's government workers started collecting their salaries, funded by Qatar's grant to Gaza pledged in July. However, about 3,000 employees were surprised to receive nothing.
Ashraf Jadallah, who works in the Ministry of Youth and Sports in Gaza City, arrived at the post office on Aug. 17 to find his name missing from the list of beneficiaries.
