A Palestinian citizen working in digging tunnels under the Egyptian-Palestinian borders near Rafah to the south of Gaza Strip died in one of those tunnels on Sunday.

Adham Abu Salmiya, the spokesman for emergency and ambulance services, said that Nader Omar died after falling in one of the tunnels.

He said that another citizen was hospitalized in a separate incident after suffering an electric shock in another tunnel.

More than 200 Palestinian citizens died in the tunnels ever since the Israeli siege was clamped on the coastal enclave in 2006.
