VOICED: New barrier on Egyptian borderNew barrier on Egyptian border

The video discusses the construction of a metal barrier on the Gaza-Egypt border aimed at stopping smuggling through underground tunnels. These tunnels have been vital for Gaza's economy, especially since the 2007 blockade. The barrier threatens to cut off this economic lifeline, potentially leading to severe consequences for Gaza's residents and businesses. While Egypt cites national security as the reason for the barrier, it is also seen as a political move to pressure Hamas. Despite the barrier, smuggling is expected to continue.
