Palestinians are marking five years since the death of former president Yasser Arafat.

Hundreds of people attended a vigil on Tuesday in the main square of the West Bank city of Ramallah, where Arafat is buried.

But such commemorations were banned in Hamas-controlled Gaza - where some activists from Arafat's Fatah party were arrested for holding rallies.

Nour Odeh reports on Arafat's enduring influence among Palestinians.
