Palestinian demonstrations against corruption and negligence

Hundreds of Palestinians demonstrated yesterday in Hebron city to protest official corruption and negligence.

The demonstrators demanded the firing of Mustafa El-Netsha, mayor of Hebron, and certain Palestinian ministers.

Hebron city witnessed a tragic accident two days ago in which a fire in an unlicensed factory for lighters killed 16 girls, for whom the demonstrators raised black flags and a mock coffin, as they demanded justice and proper punishments against the factory's owners.

The demonstrators also threw stones at El-Netsha's office during the demonstrations.
