Medics: 19-Year-Old Killed In Gaza Tunnel Accident
Despite all the recent excitements, life, so to speak, goes on.
(Ma'an) -- A 19-year-old man died in southern Gazoo on Monday after he fell in a tunnel under the border with Egypt, a medical official said.

Motaz Abu Jazar, from Rafah, worked in the Gazoo tunnel network which provides a lifeline of goods into the blockaded coastal strip.

He fell near the Salah al-Din gate on the southern border, emergency services front man Adham Abu Salmiya said.

Officials estimate at least 150 Paleostinians have died in tunnel-related accidents.

In early March, a one-year-old baby died after falling into the opening of a tunnel in southern Gazoo.

Since Israel tightened its blockade of the Gazoo Strip in 2007, residents have relied on goods and fuel smuggled from Egypt through a network of underground tunnels.
