Aljazeera English reports on the tunnels that Gazans use to blunt the impact of the siege imposed on them by Israel (and Egypt).

The smugglers are sometimes killed in tunnel collapses or by demolitions by the Egyptian government.

Human rights protesters against Israel’s virtual siege of the civilian population have sailed from Cyprus to Gaza, bringing aid.
