00:00Eight trucks entered Gaza Strip via the Rafa crossing with Egypt on Tuesday after Israel said it had agreed to reopen the territory's key gateway to the outside world.
00:11The opening of the crossing between Gaza and Egypt, which was controlled by Egypt before the war, is seen as ushering in the second phase of the U.S. brokered ceasefire, though its opening had been called for as part of the first phase.
00:25It is not immediately clear when the crossing will open and whether it will allow the flow of goods and people both into and out of the war-shattered territory.
00:34With the march of Gaza turned to rabble, the United Nations has said that the territory's population of over two million people needs a massive influx of food, fuel, medicine and tents.
00:45While some aid has entered via the crossing, trucks have been lined outside it for months while waiting for the chance to enter.
