A billboard celebrating the armed wing of HAMAS stands over a Palestinian gas station in Khan Yunis December 19, 2009. Although Israel allows some fuel to pass through to Gaza, HAMAS also smuggles much larger quantities through tunnels from Egypt effectively keeping prices low and helping retain popular support for their government. Fuel smuggled from Egypt only costs on average one tenth the amount as the Israeli imported fuel.
