Israel, Egypt squeeze Gaza tunnel business

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (Reuters) - Fearing loss of life and money, Palestinians are abandoning tunnels that supply the blockaded Gaza Strip with everything from food to fridges to weapons.

On the Gaza side of the border with Egypt, there is little activity in an area that was once as busy as an industrial zone.

Many tunnel workers have concluded that the risk of being buried alive by Israeli bombardment and accidental ground collapses or poisoned by gas pumped underground by Egyptian security forces is just not worth it. Around 100 people have been killed in the past year.

Uhh…WHAT??
