GAZA CITY (Ma’an) -- Senior Fatah official Nabil Shaath made a number of visits in Gaza City on Saturday, officials said.

The Fatah international relations coordinator is in the Gaza Strip heading a delegation of party officials tasked with organizing party affairs, as well as meeting leaders of rival party Hamas.

Shaath on Saturday visited the sister of Yasser Arafat, Khadija Al-Qudwa, and the Ata orphanage run by his wife Raja Abu Ghazaleh Shaath, officials said.

The delegation arrived in Gaza on Wednesday, after spokesman of the Hamas-run government in Gaza Tahir al-Nunu said premier Ismail Haniyeh welcomed the Fatah officials to Gaza in a phone call with Shaath.
