Rafah, Gaza Strip, Jan 26 2009.Hundreds of tunnels run under the 'Philadelphia Corridor', the border between Egypt and the Gaza strip. Tunnels such as this one, more than 20m deep and 350m long are the only lifelines for Gaza, as israel has been implementing an almost total blocus for the last 2 years..A single tunnel brings more than 150 large bags of various goods per day under the border; it is a real industry and large business opportunities for families on both sides of the border..
