In this story from 2010, 60 Minutes Australia goes inside Gaza's underground tunnel network at the centre of the Israel and Hamas war. This was a rare access to the tunnels linking Gaza to the outside world. The Gaza Strip had been sealed off with Israeli land and sea blockade. The only way in is to dig deep across the land border to Egypt. They have become an essential but dangerous lifeline for Palestinians.

Through the tunnel network, they risk their lives time after time, scrambling through makeshift tunnels and smuggling goods from one country to another. It's a bizarre variation of those escape movies, where desperate men borough their way to freedom against incredible odds. The difference is, these tunnel rats always come back. Even if their home is the worst kind of prison.
