Aid trucks roll into Gaza

Aid trucks rolled into Gaza on Wednesday and Israel resumed preparations to open the main Rafah crossing after a dispute over the return of the bodies of dead captives that had threatened to derail the fragile ceasefire deal with Hamas.

Israel had threatened to keep Rafah shut and reduce aid supplies saying that Hamas was returning bodies too slowly.

However, Hamas returned more Israeli bodies overnight, and an Israeli security official said on Wednesday that preparations were underway to open Rafah to Gazan citizens, while a second official said that 600 aid trucks would go in.
