Scores of bodies have been recovered from rubble across Gaza during  a 12 hour ceasefire.

The humanitarian truce began at 8am in Gaza and many people emerged from shelters to inspect their homes and to buy food.

Israel has described the truce as a humanitarian window.

Many neighbourhoods have been destroyed and bodies are being taken from the rubble across Gaza.

The death toll has reached 1,000 people in Gaza after 19 days of fighting. 37 Israeli citizens have been killed.

Officials from the US, France, Britain and four other countries are meeting in Paris to discuss ways to help achieve a permanent ceasefire. 

It is not thought that representatives from Israel, Hamas or the Palestinian authority will be present.

The United States refuses to deal with Hamas because it regards the Palestinian faction as a terrorist group.

The German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that a ceasefire would only last if Gaza no longer served as a weapons depot for Hamas.

He also urged that living conditions be improved.

Israel's military has said it would hold fire for 12 hours, but would press on with its search for tunnels used by militants.

A spokesman for the Islamist group Hamas said all Palestinian factions would abide by the brief truce.              

Hamas wants an end to an Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza before agreeing to halt hostilities.

Israeli officials said any ceasefire must allow the military to carry on hunting down Hamas's tunnel network that criss-crosses the Gaza border.
              
Israel says some of the tunnels reached into Israel and were meant to carry out attack on Israelis.

Other underground passages serve as weapon caches and Hamas bunkers.

Protests across Ireland

People held protests, vigils and demonstrations across Ireland.

The biggest was hosted by the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign in Dublin, it was supported by other organisations including the Irish Congress of Trade Unions.

The Dublin demonstration started at the Spire and the rally marched to the Israeli Embassy where over 1,500 people listened to Palestinian and Irish speakers.

There were also protests in Belfast, Cork, Derry, Limerick, Tralee, Waterford and many other places.
