[quote=Muslima]What these reports always fail to mention is that the tunnels are a response to Israel’s suffocating siege of Gaza, noted by groups such as Christian Aid.

[quote]Last week, UNRWA, the UN agency responsible for assisting Palestinian refugees, announced that it had run out of food to distribute. With 80 per cent of the population dependent upon food aid, the situation is critical but the crossings into Gaza – the only points of entry for people and goods - remain tightly closed.

Increasingly goods are smuggled through tunnels from Egypt into Gaza, but the high cost of items brought in this way, are out of reach for many ordinary Gazans.

"There is a huge concern for November food supplies. UNRWA only works with registered refugees, but what about non-refugees? Tunnels are the only way of getting food and other goods, but this is only for people with money", says a Christian Aid partner in Khan Younis.[/quote]

Does Hamas use the tunnels to smuggle weapons? Of course they do. You think Isreal will just allow them to go on an open market and buy weapons like they do?[/quote]
