A Palestinian medical worker holds a sign outside the emergency room during a demonstration calling for payment of wages in the West Bank city of Hebron August 30, 2006. Hundreds of civil servants, in a protest organised by a Fatah-led union, held a rally for back wages outside Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ office in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Civil servants plan to go on an open-ended strike on Saturday and have threatened to shut down government institutions, except for hospitals and border crossing points.
