GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Several were injured late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning as celebrations marking the end to Palestinian political division went on late into the night in Gaza City.
Families and groups of young men let off fireworks and gunshots during the festivities, which head of ambulance and emergency services in Gaza Adham Abu Salmiyeh said resulted in the admission of three residents to hospital with light injuries.
Witnesses in Gaza City's main hospital Ash-Shifa said dozens trickled in throughout the night seeking treatment for burns, with one man reportedly wounded seriously. |
