Hundreds of trucks full of goods enter Gaza from Israel each day but it is Hamas that refuses to allow more.

The tunnels also allow Hamas to move whatever they want in or out of Gaza without any government interference or observation.
Hamas will even give you permission to dig a smuggling tunnel for only $2500

Unfortunately, mission control lost contact with the payload on its descent, and is now calling on the public for assistance:
