Palestinians Inspect And Reconstruct Egypt-Gaza Smuggling Tunnels

RAFAH, GAZA STRIP - JANUARY 26: Palestinians work on constructing new and repairing old smuggling tunnels that run under the border between Egypt and the southern Gaza Strip on January 26, 2009 in the Rafah at the Egypt border in the Gaza Strip. After a unilateral cease-fire, residents of Gaza are still suffering from severe food and water shortages caused from Israel's three-week offensive against Hamas in Gaza. Smugglers are actively working at the tunnels, bringing in food, fuel and other goods days after. According to reports, 13 Israelis and over 1300 Palestinians were killed in the Mideast conflict.
