Egypt reopens Gaza border for aid as crisis worsens.
Egypt has agreed to reopen its border crossing with the Gaza Strip to allow aid to reach Palestinians, according to the U.S., as the humanitarian crisis worsens for the 2.3 million people trapped in the enclave and anti-Israel protests flare across the Middle East. Demonstrations have erupted in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian West Bank, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, and elsewhere amid outrage over an explosion at Gaza's Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital, which Palestinian officials said killed 471 people and blamed on an Israeli airstrike. The United Nations aims to bring aid deliveries to Gaza back to 100 trucks a day, the level before the Israel-Hamas conflict.
