UNRWA employees in Gaza stage 1 day strike
Gaza - MENA
The Palestinian workers' union of the UN agency for Palestine refugees in Gaza on Sunday announced a one-day strike to protest the agency's dismissal of workers and its refusal to increase salaries. Union official Suheil Al-Hindi said that a general strike and further protests would be carried out against the agency's administration in the coming days. Open strike is a possibility as well, he added. He said UNRWA had not given any answer to the union's demands to raise pay and rehire the employees it recently laid off. The union is scheduled hold a press conference in Gaza City near the UNRWA office, he added. UNRWA is the UN agency originally set up in 1949 to ensure relief and development for the Palestinian refugees expelled from what became Israel in 1948. Today, the agency provides health care, education, social services, and other forms of aid to nearly 5 million Palestinian refugees.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
