Five Palestinians found dead in Gaza-Egypt smuggling tunnel
2009-02-23
Gaza medics say five Palestinians have been found dead in a smuggling tunnel under the border with Egypt.

Health official Dr. Moaiya Hassanain said the men suffocated in the cramped, makeshift tunnel.

Local residents say they were smuggling food into the strip, which has been under a crippling blockade since the violent Hamas movement seized control there in 2007.

Hassanain said the men died Saturday, but were only found on Sunday. The body of one man killed in the same incident was retrieved on Saturday making a total of five.

#2  Food through tunnels? Has any of those saudi-paid journalists made an estimation of the number of tons you need for feeding 2 million people? Those tunnels are useless for food, their only use is for terror and since Paleos are making war on our money Cut all aid to Palestinians now

Since when have humans been able to eat ball bearings, C-4, ammunition, detonators, Kassam components, etc.?
