Trucks loaded with relief aid are gathering south of the Rafah land crossing from the Egyptian side. Truck drivers are impatiently waiting to obtain entry permission, to deliver aid to the people of the Gaza Strip.
The trucks are lined up in a chain of about 200 trucks, and no larger number than that are allowed to enter. Drivers are prevented from using small gas cylinders, forcing them to sleep in the open for long periods, increasing the difficulty of their journey. Some truck drivers strive to find creative ways to arrange their lives.
