Four people were killed and three went missing in the collapse of an underground tunnel Sunday north of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, security sources said.Chances are that these tunnels collapsed due to the recent rains in Gaza.
Sources from Hamas informed Egyptian authorities of the incident.
Egypt is still searching for the missing people inside the tunnel, the source said.
The identities of the dead and missing were not immediately known, the source said.
Four Palestinians were injured and hospitalized earlier Sunday after the collapse of another tunnel, according to Palestinian medical sources.
The 2008 PalArab self-death count is now at 211.
