| Another bad day at Gaza Tunnel Authority |

| Gaza – Ma'an – Two Palestinian workers remain missing following the collapse of a subterranean smuggling tunnel under the Yebna refugee camp in Rafah, southern Gaza on Tuesday. Subterranean? Are there any other kinda tunnels? A group of six workers was inside the tunnel when it collapsed, with four members turning up safely on the Egyptian side, said Adham Abu Selmieyah, a Gaza medical services coordinator. Feets, don't fail me now... A search mission is ongoing by civil defense crews in an attempt to locate 17-year-old Belal Taha and another unamned worker on the Egyptian side, he added. Belal! Are you down here? Mmmmmmmmmph! What did he say? He said "mmmmmmmmmph". Many Palestinians have died as a result of tunnel collapses, with human rights organizations calling for better protection and safety for workers involved in the industry. Harrrrumph harrrrumph harrrrrumph... The underground tunnel complex was created along the Egypt-Gaza border in the wake of Israel's lockdown of the coastal enclave in June 2007, following Hamas' takeover of the Strip. The tunnels are used to transport a number of goods made unavailable as a result of the siege, including fuel, food, medicines, livestock and vehicles. Teddy bears, crayons, sunshine, rainbows, unicorns... And what this has to do with anything, I don't know, but... Israel had previously banned the entry of pasta into the coastal enclave, until US Senator John Kerry reportedly demanded that Israel allow pasta into Gaza, after learning during a 2009 visit that spaghetti was one of thousands of items Israel bans from the besieged enclave. Wow, what a statesman. I'm sure he considers it one of foreign policy triumphs. "John Kerry: The Man Who Got Pasta Into Gaza". |

| #3 > The underground tunnel complex was created along the Egypt-Gaza border in the wake of Israel's lockdown of the coastal enclave in June 2007. Why do you need a tunnel to cross the border between Egypt and Gaza? Are there barriers between Egypt and Gaza? Does Israel run Egypt now too? So much nonsense in one Article. |
