Palestinians brave Israeli assault to return home - 2 Jan 08

Since Hamas took over Gaza 18 months ago, Israel and Egypt have frequently closed the border and forbidden anyone to cross for weeks at a time. It's been more than a month since the Rafah border crossing into Egypt was open - leaving many Gazans stranded outside. But this week, Egypt opened the crossing once again, and as Amr El Kahky reports, many Gazan's are keen to get home, despite the Israeli bombardment.
