Photo Essay: Gaza’s (Literal) Underground Economy

Since Hamas gained control of Gaza in June 2007, Israel has blockaded the flow of goods into and out of the territory. But when trade is closed aboveground, the economy simply moves underground, in more ways than one.

Only one of the pictures shows the actual weapons smuggling. I guess the elites want us to believe they are mainly smuggling “goods” and bovines.
