Staff from the Palestinian prime minister's office went on strike Wednesday, joining a widespread work stoppage by civil servants demanding overdue salaries from the Hamas-led government. About 30 workers at Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh's office joined dozens of other striking civil servants, holding up banners that said, 'We want our salaries, we have a right to feed our children.'
