In an eruption of internal tensions in the Gaza Strip, hundreds of unemployed workers stormed the local parliament building, smashing chairs before they were pushed back by riot police holding plastic shields. Using Abbas' nickname, the crowd of over a thousand workers chanted: "Abu Mazen, we are hungry". They called for jobs and unemployment benefits. REUTERS/Mohammed Salem
