Worker killed in smuggling tunnel collapse at Rafah
 [Ma'an] A smuggling tunnel underneath the Egypt-Rafah border collapsed killing a young man from Jabaliya on Wednesday, bringing to three the number of tunnel-related deaths already in 2010. Muawiya Hassanein, director of ambulance and emergency service in Gaza Strip hospitals, identified the young man as 21-year-old Mahrous An-Nathir. He was evacuated to Abu Yousif An-Najjar Hospital in Rafah where he was pronounced dead. According to medics, the tunnel was in the Al-Qassas area west of the Salah Ad-Din Gate. The death is the second in a week, following the electrocution of 23-year-old Ashraf Al-Attar o Saturday. In 2009, 139 young men were killed during their work in the tunnels.
