(Israel-Palestinians)

Aid trucks are rolling into Gaza this morning.

The shipment comes from southern Israel through a new agreement with Egypt to bypass the Rafah crossing after Israeli forces seized the Palestinian side of it earlier this month.

Egypt refuses to reopen its side of the Rafah crossing until control of the Gaza side is handed back to Palestinians.

But under U-S and Israeli pressure it agreed to divert traffic through Israel's Kerem Shalom crossing -- Gaza's main cargo terminal. (3)

Since then, however, oil prices have rebounded, and Canadian oil companies have been generating strong profits over the past two years. (3)
