A woman paid by the Palestinian Authority withdrew her salary from an ATM as others wait to receive their salaries outside a bank after a scuffle with employees appointed by Hamas since 2007, in Gaza City on June 11, 2014. Gaza's banks reopened Wednesday after being closed for six days by Hamas forces, an official said, in a dispute that is the first challenge to a new Palestinian unity government. The PA has so far refused to pay Hamas's 50,000 civil servants, who are not registered as its employees because they were appointed after the Islamist movement ousted bitter rivals Fatah -- which dominates the PLO -- from Gaza in 2007.
