Israel briefly opens Gaza crossing
<snip>

"The Israelis have temporarily opened the Karem Abu Salem border crossing with Gaza to allow a limited supply of humanitarian aid to reach the territory.

Thirty trucks, 11 of which are carrying United Nations (UN) supplies, were allowed to travel into the Strip on Monday.

Ayman Mohyeldin, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Gaza, said: "One UN official told me ... there will be enough to last a week, but in a week's time, if Gaza doesn't get more supplies, the UN will be in the same position."

Mohyeldin reported that UN officials had likened allowing limited supplies through to "a sort of drip-feeding" of the territory."
