Sick Gazans wait at border

Jul. 1 - Israel has again shut border crossings to Gaza in response to what they say was a rocket strike on southern Israel.

An Israeli police spokesman said the makeshift rocket landed near a kibbutz bordering the coastal enclave, causing no damage or injuries. A Hamas official said the allegation was "incorrect and unjustified".

An Egyptian-brokered ceasefire which came into effect on June 19 calls on militant groups to halt rocket fire in return for Israel gradually easing its blockade of the impoverished territory.

Sonia Legg reports.
