From UN envoy says tunnel threats not helping Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN Mideast envoy says threats by Hamas to continue building tunnels into Israel do “not help” reconstruction efforts in war-battered Gaza Strip.
Nikolay Mladenov’s remarks come while touring Shejaiyah, one of the hardest hit areas in the 2014 war between Hamas and Israel.
Hamas officials have pledged to continue building tunnels along the Israeli border, even after recent collapses killed at least 10 Hamas fighters. Israel views the tunnels as a top threat.
Reconstruction in Gaza has been sluggish. Mladenov says only a third of funds pledged by international donors has been received.
