Palestinian farmers work on their field near the Sufa crossing, between Israel and the southern Gaza Strip on June 19, 2008 following a truce between Hamas Islamist movement and the Jewish state. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees said today that it hoped the coming into force of a truce in Gaza would enable the delayed construction of schools and clinics in the territory to go ahead. Israel has said it will start easing its blockade on Gaza from June 22 if the Egypt-brokered truce deal with the Islamist Hamas movement in and around the territory holds.Photo By Abed Rahim Khatib /Flash90
