Gaza fatah celebrations 8

Waving Fatah's yellow flags on the top of a wall, young supporters of Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas's party hold on January 4, 2013 their first mass rally in Gaza since Hamas seized control of the territory in 2007. Hamas, in a sign of reconciliation with Fatah, permitted the rally to go ahead as the climax of a week of Gaza festivities celebrating the 48th anniversary of Fatah taking up arms against Israel.
