Published On 4 May 2011
A deal aimed at ending divisions between Palestinian factions have been signed in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
In the Gaza Strip, memories are fresh of how a dispute between Fatah and Hamas pitted Palestinians against Palestinians in 2007, after a national unity government collapsed.
More than 100 people were killed in brutal street fighting.
