The Rafah crossing point between Egypt and Gaza has finally opened to allow 20 Egyptian trucks carrying medical supplies across, after a week of intense negotiations involving the US, Israel, Egypt and the UN.

Under the agreement, only 20 trucks will be allowed on Saturday, deliveries from the Egyptian Red Crescent to the Palestinian Red Crescent organisation. A UN official said UN trucks were not expected to cross until Monday.
