'Who will pay our salaries?': Gaza's 40,000 civil servants face uncertain future

The article discusses the uncertainty faced by approximately 40,000 civil servants in Gaza regarding their employment status and salary payments due to the dissolution of Hamas's governing authority and the ongoing political transition. Atiya Shaheen, a teacher and father of four, expresses concern over his potential job loss amid reduced salaries and delayed payments. The situation reflects broader anxieties among public employees who feel caught between political shifts and the lack of clear resolution. Discussions are underway to transfer administrative duties to the National Higher Committee for the Administration of Gaza, though this process remains stalled due to Israeli restrictions preventing Palestinian representatives from entering the territory. Employees like Mahmoud Abu Qweider recount prolonged financial hardships during the conflict, including periods of receiving no salary at all. Their sense of being politically marginalized adds to their uncertainty about the future.
