ground. on the ground, it is a miserable scene. it's dire. there are houses destroyed. homes that will nr be returned to and people in hospital. the civilians killed, more than 1400 people. so many people wounded as well. of course, there is trouble, as we say on the other side, the israeli side. at this point we can report good news. the truce is holding and this is good news. even though it's only an hour and 20 middle, it didn't last in the past week as this was tried before. here we are, progress at last. we will continue it to watch this. and now we turn to the latest from the investigation in ukraine, and international investigators say they hope to

bring a larger team to the crash site. >> a small group of inspectors made it to the cited on tuesday, after being turned back by fighting for two days in a row. turn to kelly morgan, joining us live. this is significant, isn't isn't it, after four frustrating days, investigators got to the site, the crash site of mh17. tell us what they accomplished and what they hoped to accomplish today. >>-l. >> reporter: a significant step, we were able to get scouts out to that site yesterday. for the first time on the crash scene in eastern ukraine. the rebel-held territory. they were only there for an hour -- just over an hour. very limited time. it was enough for them to do a

general assessment of the area, to get an idea of the logistics of the task they're facing. this is a huge debris field so they need many, many days to scout is properly to see if there are any other remains there. there could be as many as 80 bodies at the site. they're hoping to do a proper investigation today and the following days ahad. osce scouting mission, reconnaissance mission headed out to the site to see if it's safe to go out for a second day. dutch investigators said they would spend a limited amount of time at the site. they're hoping to be fully operational by the end of the weekend. >> what do we know about efforts to ensure that the fighting

comes to a standstill while inspectors are there? this is potentially dreadly work for these inspectors? >> reporter: yes. the dutch investigating team, the dutch are leading that operation, and they are they well aware this is a very unstable situation in that part of the world. we've had agreement, parties agreeing they will commit to a cease-fire in that area and guarantee the safety of the international investigators. the ukraine government also ratifying an agreement, which would allow for 700 armed personnel to enter that site. now, again, the australian foreign minister said the separatists won't agree with that and she also said she doesn't think it's necessary. this is a humanitarian necessary, they need to

repatriate the bodies, and the site which has been an issue. finally they are getting access. this is problem, without a doubt, but we need to see if that cease-fire will hold. >> kelly morgan bringing us up to date on key tails in kiev. we could learn about transasia's flight, which crashed into a residential area in taiwan, killing 48. we're going to take a special break. you're watching cnn's special coverage of the cease-fire in gaza. we'll go to the middle east to see if that cease-fire is holding after a short break. >> we're getting good reports on

this is the human element at work. dow. . a tense time in gaza and israel right now, 90 minutes into a 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire. that's good news. >> we can feel people collectively holding their breath. live video from gaza.

no explosionings for now. just minutes before truce, there was a plume of black smoke rising from gaza. the united nations plans to deliver much needed food and supplies to the people of gaza. as we know, 8,000 people are there wounded. help has been slow and coming. israel reports no hamas rockets have been fired after this truce fired, after nine were fired earlier. sima is in jerusalem for us. when we heard the news earlier, humanitarian seecease-fire, the was rockets, but quooet quiet now. >> reporter: there was an attempt to get in last-minute

rockets. both sides making their last-minute attacks, trying to do as much damage as they can, presume reply, before the cease-fire began. the fact we're counting this cease-fire minute by minute, saying we're 90 minutes in, one hour in, shows you what a ten situation we're facing. we're not sure how long it will last. last time there was this humanitarian pause in fighting, they only managed to last 12 hours. this time around, it has been negotiated for 72 hours. as we say, great trepidation. the pictures we've been getting into us here, show people slowly coming out. reluctant -- they're not coming out by droves. little by little, they're coming

out, assessing their damage. many have been away from their homes, in you man teryn shelters, 200,000, they have to relocate loved ones, we know there's a shortage of food, water, and of course a power station was hit. electricity repairs have to be carried out in this 72-hour period. i spoke to the red crescent working in gaza, and they said thursday main priority is to get those who need medical attention out of gaza. they are negotiating and have been negotiating with hamas, with israeli defense forces to allow ambulances through. moempb 8,000 have been injured.

so those most at risk, those that haven't been able to get the crucial medical attention, they're trying to get them out and get crucial medical equipment in. >> hopefully this will hold. s it noofs nice to see the children outside in gaza. the big question, of course, can this cease-fire hold? it seems like they've been here before, but all sides wanting to work on this and all eyes on cairo next to see both sides coming together to work on this cease-fire, to make it lasting. what are we expecting in materials of conditions, expectations, beyond those three days with talks in cairo? >> reporter: the burden really is on all the liaisons and

intermediaries working to get hamas and israelis to the negotiating table. a lot of hope for this 72-hour period. there's a lot of work to be done. the major difference, they are actually coming to the negotiating table in cairo. they are willing to talk, of sorts. it may not be face to face. it may be through the people in cairo, through the united states, through the qataris or other intermediaries. but the fkt they're coming to the table is the big difference. i must emphasize this doesn't mean israelis have stopped their work to neutralize the tunnels. here's is what prime minister netanyahu had to say thursday morning. >> translator: we have neutralized terror tunnels.

i will not prevent the idf of demowishing the tunnels, which is crucial to the security of the people of israel. >> reporter: with or without a cease-fire. what that means is even though we have a cease-fire, a humanitarian cease-fire in place in gaza, israeli troops are saying place in gast right now, wherever they are, they laid down weapons. work to eliminate tunnels will carry on. weapon may see smoke from horizon because we don't know who how israelis will end tunnels, dynamite or diggers, but that will carry on. >> an hour and a half of peace so fair in this cease-fire. >> it is progress, indeed. every day around the world

be going home any time soon because their family this to evacuate their neighborhood. for many newborns in gaza, this is their life for now. their life hangs in the balance. with a close eye and reassuring sound of a machine and results could be disastrous. they say the war has triggered a sharp rise in premature births. two days later, it's off to the grandmother's house. he arrives but without the typical fanfare. i'm happy, but our rejoice should have been so much greater. with everything that has happened, it wouldn't be right. we hope his birth is a sign of good things. he meets his sister and brother. the inquisitive 3-year-old has

many questions. where are his feet and hands, he asks? he reaches for his mother, as if instinctively aware of the dangerous world he's entered. ian lee, cnn, gaza. >> a symbol of hope there as we watch this now, an hour and 40 minutes into this cease-fire. we hope it certainly holds. we're something to watch other stories ahead. the latest on argentina's default, a look at how stocks in that nation did thursday. ahead as well, members of the u.s. congress about to leave for a five-week vacation. the controversial issue that saw them called back to work. st tens to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis,

over worries of argentina and disappointing report from manufacturing. argentina's default, happened after buenos aires, a judge who mediated the dispute railed in favor of creditors and said argentina must repay them before paying others. >> the country's president had only defiant words to express ther thoughts. >> translator: in the default, now they created a new one, the selective default. a credit rating agency that does not exist. the only causes for default are itemized on the bonds in the very title, in the very contract, and the impossibility of collecting the debt is not showing as a reason for default,

because default is not to pay, but to obstruct someone to collect the debt is not default. i told them they have to come up with a new word. >> analysts say a curran see devaluation is a real possibility for argentina and it will likely become more expensive for the nation to borrow money. u.s. president bop know barack obama is slamming lawmakers who plan to sue him. members. house of representative gave the house speaker authority to file a lawsuit against the president. >> republican supporters of the measure say he's misused his power, essential reply on health care reform. the u.s. president said his critics have misplaced priorities. listen. >> think about how much further along we'd be if congress would do its job.
