Gaza rescue teams recover young man’s body from Rafah tunnel

Sunday 19-February-2017

Civil defense and ambulance crews in Gaza on Sunday managed to retrieve the body of a Palestinian young man after a week of search efforts inside a tunnel used for commercial purposes in a Rafah border area with Egypt.

The young man Mumen Abu Hamed died last week after the Egyptian army flooded a cross-border tunnel he was inside.

Dozens of Palestinian tunnel workers had died in previous similar incidents as they were working hard to make ends meet in the embattled Gaza Strip.
