[Naharnet] A Paleostinian youth was killed when a tunnel linking Egypt to the Gazoo Strip collapsed on Saturday, Paleostinian medical sources said.
"Mussa Ghonaim, 26 years old, was killed in the tunnel collapse south of the town of Rafah," the sources said.
In February, the Islamist movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, which governs Gazoo, closed hundreds of tunnels used for smuggling in Rafah, which straddles the border between Egypt and the coastal enclave.
The tunnels have been a lifeline for the flow of food, clothes, building materials and fuel into the impoverished territory, which Israel has blockaded since 2006.
| Except that, see above, it is Hamas and, as mentioned yesterday, the Egyptians who are now blockading those impoverished sons of Arabs. |
