In April Palestinian prisoners families demonstrated close to the office of the Egyptian Embassy in Gaza, however, the demonstration ended by storming the car of the Egyptian ambassador as protest to release their sons who are in the Egyptian jails. In Gaza also, tens of thousands take the streets in Labor's day and carrying banners and posters saying:" We want to work and get paid, but we don't want begging". The demonstrations and other labor activities went from allover Gaza Strip and ended up by giving speeches from political and governmental leaders in the middle of Gaza City, close to the Palestinian Legislative Council.
