GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Palestinian experts discussed the government decision forbidding a second job for civil employees at a workshop organized by the Coalition for Accountability and Integrity (AMAN) on Oct. 19. They criticized the lack of a clear government policy and plan for the decision’s implementation, which would affect marginalized groups especially.
The decision did not include an increase in the salaries of public employees, who can barely make ends meet amid the rising living costs, and thus poverty levels are expected to rise further.
