2 injured as gas canister explodes in Rafah tunnel
2011-09-20
(Ma'an) --Two Paleostinians were maimed on Monday when a gas canister went kaboom! inside a smuggling tunnel running under the border between the Gazoo Strip and Egypt.
Queerly enough, even while in the early stages of revolution, Egypt still doesn't want to let the Gazans run around freely. Why d'you suppose that is?
Five Paleostinians were in the tunnel at the time of the kaboom, with two receiving critical injuries and three reported missing, Paleostinian medics said.

The three missing people were later found, medics added.

On Sunday evening, a young Paleostinian was killed and another injured when a smuggling tunnel between the city of Rafah in the Gazoo Strip and Egypt collapsed.

The Ambulance and Emergencies Committee in Gazoo identified the dear departed as Jihad Irbati.

#1  Well, they've been promoted from "maimed"...

Two Palestinian teenagers have died from injuries sustained when a smuggling tunnel under Gaza's border with Egypt collapsed on Monday, medics said. Ashraf Al-Qarra, 17, died on Monday afternoon and Haytham Abu Radwan, also 17, died on Tuesday morning, the ambulance and emergencies committee in Gaza said in a statement. The teenagers were injured when a gas canister exploded in the tunnel they were in.

Medics say over 160 Palestinians have died in the network of underground tunnels since Israel imposed a siege on the Gaza Strip in 2006.
