GAZA, (PIC)-- Hundreds of Palestinians participated on Sunday morning in a sit-in on the Egyptian-Palestinian borders in Rafah area to demand the Egyptian leadership to find an alternative to the tunnels before destroying them.
The protestors established a tent opposite the Egyptian commandership building and held banners calling on the Egyptian president to stop the demolition of Gaza tunnels before creating a permanent solution to the blockade.
Hundreds of tunnels are extending underground throughout the Egyptian-Palestinian borders and used as lifelines to transfer goods and vital needs into Gaza.
The Egyptian authorities started to demolish Gaza tunnels following the deadly attack that rendered many Egyptian soldiers dead and injured in the Sinai last August.
