Palestinian medical sources told the PIC correspondent that Nidal Emran, 24 years, died as a result of the collapse of a smuggling tunnel in the Jaradat area to the east of Rafah.

The same sources said that emergency workers managed to retrieve the victims corpse and took it to Abu Yousuf al-Najjar's hospital in Rafah.

More than 150 Palestinians died in tunnels over the past few years, especially as the Israeli occupation tightened the siege on the Gaza Strip making these tunnels an essential lifeline for the people of Gaza.
