Palestinian teachers’ strike grows, reflecting deep crisis

AL-AZZA REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank (AP) — In schools across the world, children are halfway into their second semester. But in a Palestinian refugee camp south of Jerusalem, kids wake up at 1 p.m. They kick soccer balls, hang out in barbershops and aimlessly scroll through TikTok. They watch television until dawn, just to wake up late and laze around all over again.Palestinian public schools in the West Bank have been closed since Feb. 5 in one of the longest teachers’ strikes in recent memory against the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority. Teachers’ demands for a pay raise have escalated into a protest movement that has vexed the increasingly autocratic Palestinian self-rule government as it plunges deeper into an economic crisis.But the strike isn’t just about money. As the largest group of government employees in the West Bank after security forces, teachers are also calling for a democratically elected union. The authority hasn’t budged, fearing its rivals, like the Islamic ...

Hours after arriving, and with both teams wearing helmet stickers to remember the victims, he helped the Predators beat the Bruins 2-1 Tuesday night.“It’s not really the first shooting, unfortunately. When you have kids and it happens close to home it hits definitely different,” McDonagh said. “Like any parent, you do anything you can to help your family and kids out.”McDonagh’s daughters — Falan, Murphy and Nola — are all under 9 years old. “His daughter was close to the school — their school was in lockdown,” coach John Hynes said.Said McDonagh: “Quite frankly there are really no words that you can say after what went on yesterday in Na...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:33:20 GMT

El concejo del condado Montgomery el martes fue el epicentro de testimonios relacionados a la necesidad de estabilizar las rentas en la localidad. Dos proyectos de ley mantienen una clara división entre quienes defienden a los inquilinos y quienes a la par están preocupados por el desarrollo urbanístico.Desde temprano, activistas se reunieron para alzar su voz a favor de una regulación para aumentos menores al 3%. Entre ellas estaba Maryuri Avila, quien fue desalojada al perder su trabajo y recibir un aumento de su renta del 6%. Aseguró que el incremento fue desmedido y que si hubiese sido menor no habría llegado al extremo.“Sentimos feo porque somos personas de bajos recursos. No podíamos con tanto. Solo mi mamá estaba con el trabajo, y mi mamá no tiene un trabajo de mucho tiempo, solo es un [trabajo a tiempo parcial] y no nos alcanzaba para pagar”, dijo. Quienes trabajan en bienes raíces dicen que la otra propuesta piensa en ambos sectores, pues el incremento a su juicio...
