Car Smuggling through Tunnels in Gaza

[sparklingway]

These guys put to shame those Mexican drug lords. Even the widest of those drug smuggling tunnels couldn't compare to this wide-as-hell tunnel.

In the gloomy half light, a bulldozer strains to pull something through a roughly cut tunnel.

It's over 2m (6.5ft) high and close to 3m (10ft) wide, propped up by wooden supports.

Workers shout encouragement as the ceiling begins to collapse.

Suddenly a car, headlights glaring, lurches forward.

Filmed deep underground on the border between Gaza and Egypt, the mobile phone footage obtained by the BBC is conclusive proof of what has been rumoured in Gaza since last year - the tunnelling operation is now so advanced that entire brand new cars are now being smuggled into Gaza.

You have to watch to see the awesomeness. Go to the BBC video link.

It is sad that people have to struggle so much for their basic needs.

Because though many have to strugle for day to day needs the are millions in aid going into gaza, seeing much of it does not seem to be going where it is intended it is not supprising there are those with the money to pay $28,000 for a smuggled car.

Having a CAR is basic need in GAZA
I thought its food, shelter and security

The tunnels are used for everything from pencils to cars.
