Palestinian citizen Rizk Abd Al Aziz Al-Shaer, 21, was died today morning after the fall of a pitch barrel, while he was working in one of tunnels on the Egyptian-Palestinian border.

 
Palestinian medical sources said: "Medical crews retrieved the dead body of Al-Shaer from the tunnel, which was transferred to Abu Yousef Al Najjar Hospital in Rafah.


It is worth mentioning that hundreds of Palestinian young men work in the tunnels after the lack of jobs due to the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip.
