BEIT HANOUN Gaza (Reuters) - The stench of rotting animal carcasses was in the air as 10-year-old Ahmed al-Kafarna picked through the debris of his Gaza home after a ceasefire began on Tuesday, looking for his toys.

"Mine was the middle room, I found it, I mean the rubble," he said. "Those are the photos of me, with my dad and my mother and sisters. But I couldn't get my toys - they were crushed."
