For the second day in a row, Palestinian workers at the Kerem Shalom crossing went on a partial strike, closing down the only major route for goods to enter Gaza for half a day.

The strike was launched due to not being paid their full wages by the Palestinian Authority as well as not receiving benefits.

On Wednesday, they stopped work from 8 AM to 1 PM and only worked for four hours. The same thing happened on Thursday.

There are no negotiations going on with the PA, so the strike could be open-ended.

I could not find a single story in the English media about this.

When Israel closes the crossing for security reasons or even for holidays, there are inevitably stories about how Israel is punishing Gazans. But apparently not when Palestinians do it themselves.
