Monday 13-February-2017

A Palestinian worker died Monday afternoon inside a tunnel in Gaza leading to the Egyptian lands and used for commercial purposes after the Egyptian army flooded the tunnel with water according to media sources.

Local and medical sources revealed that the Palestinian young man Momen Abu Hamed drowned in the tunnel and his body was taken to a hospital in Rafah.

Dozens of Palestinian workers in Gaza died in similar incidents while searching for a living in those tunnels which have been used by Gazan people for the sake of breaking the ongoing siege on the Gaza Strip for over 11 years.
