Tunneling to Survive / Max Siegelbaum
Subject(s): Online resources: In: World Policy Journal . -- Vol. XXXI No. 4, Summer 2014Abstract: Author follows 12-year-old Mohammed Alhwani, a Palestinian boy in Gaza, as he helps build the tunnels that smugglers have been transporting illicit materials and cargo through for over three decades. In 2006, after Hamas's landslide victory in the Palestinian elections, the Israelis instituted a strict blockade on Gaza. These tunnels then became critical entry points for food, water, and contraband, and have since been expanded by a small but desperately determined army of workers, many like Mohammed, not even in their teens.Revista R0354 (MAEC -Biblioteca Central)
