Gaza bridge collapse kills 2 workers, 4 injured
Four other workers were maimed in the incident, one seriously, medical officials said. The bridge, near al-Nuseirat refugee camp, was under construction when it caved in, locals told Ma'an. The accident killed Zayed Subhi Abu Reyala, 31, and Suleiman Muhammad Abu Reyala, 15, front man of Gazoo's medical services Adham Abu Salmiya said. Workers injured in the incident were taken to Gazoo's Shuhada al-Aqsa hospital after police and ambulances evacuated the maimed, he added. He named those injured as Hassan al-Nahhal, Khaled Abu Hammam, Nabil Abu Reyaleh and Bassam al-Arqan. | |

| #2 Are they certain it was a bridge? After all it "caved in". Sounds more like a cave, er tunnel |

| #1 A pity. They were literally doing something meant to be constructive rather than destructive. That would be the first. |
