Israel has reopened its crossings with Gaza Strip to shipments of humanitarian aid and fuel. International journalists are also being allowed in.

 

According to the AP, the Israeli military conveyed 45 trucks of food and medical supplies are to pass through on Tuesday, along with shipments of cooking gas and fuel for Gaza's power plant. The Israeli military said cargo and passenger crossings were reopened because of a lull Monday in attacks by armed groups on Israel.

 

The reopening of the crossings also means international journalists can again enter the Strip.
