Gaza, ALRAY - "Ninety-six Palestinian engineers in the Gaza Strip lost their jobs with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)," Middle East Monitor reported.

The UNRWA told the engineers that "there is no longer any work for them due to the Israeli siege on Gaza halting construction projects,"

"The released engineers held a protest in front of the UNRWA’s headquarters in Gaza demanding reinstatement," saying that "the UNRWA violated an agreement it signed with the union of employees,"

Middle East Monitor (MEMO) quoted the protesting engineers as saying "UNRWA should be able to employ us in other projects," who vowed to continue their sit in until they reach an agreement with UNRWA.
