<div class="KonaBody">Al-Arish, Egypt &#8211; Members of a European humanitarian aid mission carried supplies into the blockaded Gaza Strip via Egypt&#8217;s Sinai Peninsula Sunday.The aid, brought by the Miles of Smiles ship, was unloaded at al-Arish port, 45 kilometres from the Rafah border crossing, port director Gamal Abdul-Maqsoud told the German Press Agency dpa.</p>
<p>Trucks loaded with 12 ambulances, medicines and food for infants entered the enclave via the Rafah border crossing along with 62 international activists.</p>
<p>Egypt opened the crossing indefinitely on May 28 after four years, lifting restrictions on women, children and men over 40 or under 18 years.</p>
<p>The crossing was closed in 2007, after the Palestinian movement Hamas seized control of Gaza. Since then, Egypt has occasionally opened it for three- or four-day periods.</p>
<p>Israel relaxed its blockade of the strip last year, allowing some civilian goods through, while maintaining a naval blockade.</p>
