News 📅 9 November 2026 📍 Palestine

On 9 November, the UNRWA Arab Employees Union organized a march in Khan Younis opposing measures affecting staff rights, including dismissals, wage reductions and service cuts. Anadolu’s Arabic report said the march went from Khan Younis Central Clinic to the Environmental Health Center and ended with a press conference. Union head Mustafa al-Ghoul and Employees Union Council chair Zahir al-Banna said staff rejected the measures and would use union and legal channels to challenge them. The Palestinian Information Center also reported the march, describing it as part of the union’s continuing labor action to protect workers’ rights and refugee services. Claims about the number and grounds for dismissals are attributed to the union representatives.
