[Ma'an] A Paleostinian died Saturday from an electric shock while working in a smuggling tunnel under the Gazoo-Egypt border, medics said.Gazoo medical services front man Adham Abu Salmiya identified the victim as Mahmoud Abed, 23.
Medics say over 160 Paleostinians have died in the network of underground tunnels since Israel imposed a siege on the Gazoo Strip in 2006.
Smuggling tunnels from Egypt have provided a lifeline to the 1.6 million residents of Gazoo, particularly since Israel tightened its blockade in 2007 when Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, took control of the territory.
