Palestinian Christians walk towards Erez crossing in the northern Gaza Strip on May 11, 2009 after Israel granted 95 permits for Christians from the isolated and impoverished territory to travel to the West Bank town of Bethlehem where the visiting Pope Benedict XVI will give a mass and visit a Palestinian refugee camp. Around 2,500 Christians live among Gaza's 1.4 million-strong Muslim population, including around 200 Catholics. APAimages/Ashraf Amra
