Can terrorists strike for higher wages & more ammo? Â Yes. Â And get it.
 Qatar said it will  give $30 million to help pay the salaries of thousands of Gaza Strip public sector Hamas workers left without a full wage package since 2013 on Thursday. Â
According to humanitarian news service IRIN, Qatar alone has pledged $1 billion, the European Union pledged $568 million, the US $212 million, and Turkey and the United Arab Emirates both committed $200 million. But  as of February 2015, only about 5 percent of what had been promised reached Gaza.
The donation  of 30 million by Qatar  was welcomed by Hamas. Hamas is  the Islamist group that dominates the enclave.  Hamas  said it would help ease the wage shortages that have tested already strained relations with the US-backed Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
The emir of the wealthy Gulf state, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani , said the payment of 113 million riyals was meant to “alleviate suffering and financial distressâ€, according to Qatar’s state news agency, QNA.
Many  Palestinians believe that Hamas is responsible for the economic and developmental deterioration in Gaza, while others blame Israel and the Palestinian Authority as well as the international community.  One of them (Alyan)  said, “As the party primarily responsible for the Gaza Strip, Hamas is liable for the current situation.†When asked if Israel was responsible because it imposed the blockade, he said, “Before Hamas rule and during Israeli rule, things were not as they are today.â€
A reconciliation pact signed in 2014 by the two sides raised hopes among Hamas that its 50,000 public sector employees’ wages would be taken care of via the Palestinian Authority (PA) payroll.

Firenze Sage:  Here is a clue why they need money to  pay Gaza Strip Hamas  workers. They spend most of their money building rockets and tunnels to attack Israel which is of course responsible for the lousy standard of living in a terrorist camp.
