Palestinians have been facing shortages of essential items in the Gaza Strip since the Israeli army began a military operation after an Israeli soldier was captured in an attack on a border outpost in Israel last Sunday by Palestinian militants. Israel reopened the main cargo crossing with Gaza to allow 50 trucks of food, medical supplies and fuel into Gaza from Israel, Israeli officials said. Trucks carrying diesel fuel, gasoline and natural gas also began entering northeastern Gaza through the Nahal Oz border crossing.(AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)
