#2 Tunnelers smuggle machine guns, rifles, ammunition, explosive devices, grenade launchers and other munitions. Cigarettes, drugs, gold, automobile parts and people also move through the shafts . . .

Smuggling a person through a tunnel can cost up to $10,000 . . .

they can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $200,000 to build . . .

Profits, too, can be high, with more than a few Gaza millionaires created by smuggling . . .

The problem isn't that there's no money in Gaza, it's that they're too busy lining their own pockets or trying to kill jooos to worry about anything as trivial as improving the economy.

Frankly, I'm sure they believe it's the UN's job -- not their's -- to make sure people are fed, housed, cared for medically, educated, etc.
