Palestinian civil servants and supporters march towards the President's office in Gaza City, Saturday, Sept. 23, 2006. More than 1,000 Palestinian government employees protested outside President Mahmoud Abbas' office Saturday, demanding payment of long-overdue salaries. The workers, many of whom have been on strike since the beginning of September, said Abbas promised he'd pay them a full salary at the start of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which began Saturday. The 165,000 civil servants, including teachers, police and health care workers, have largely gone without salaries since the Islamic militant Hamas came to power in March and the international community froze foreign aid.
