it's hoped the opening of the kerem shalom crossing will double the amount of food and medicine reachinggazans. until now, aid has only been able to reach the territory through the rafah crossing from egypt. israel kept up its bombardment of gaza overnight and into sunday, reportedly killing at least a0 people. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has dismissed growing international calls for a "sustainable ceasefire". but the reuters news agency is quoting egyptian security sources as saying israel and hamas are both open to a new ceasefire and hostage release — but still disagree over details. our correspondent lucy williamson has more. the target for israel in gaza is hamas, for palestinians it is survival. the rafah crossing point exploded in desperation today, each aid truck a lifeline. each minute of the journey a lifetime of wheaton. the border town of rafa has swelled to several times its normal size as people flee the fighting elsewhere. empty stomachs with hope, and two bulls held out for food. empty stomachs with hope, and two bulls held out forfood. the un estimates that almost

now, the reference to kerem shalom is to the west of rafah, but it is actually to the east of rafah,sraeli crossing point and has been closed since this crisis began two months ago. if there is an agreement to opening that, and there is some reporting that, and there is some reporting that the israelis have agreed to it, that the israelis have agreed to it, that should allow a greater amount of aid to get in. the israelis are saying that they have no problem with the volume of aid getting in and they are very happy to see that happen, but it is about the ability of the agencies to actually deal with the amount of aid that needs to be brought in. the aid agencies will probably argue that it is a war zone, it is incredibly difficult and dangerous while israel is bombing the southern gaza strip to mount an effective aid operation. anecdotal evidence from the civilians of the gaza strip suggests that while they know certain areas are dangerous and they have been told by the israelis to flee, they don't actually know which areas are safe. sometimes when they reach shelters they think will
