Meanwhile, in Gaza, Palestinians streamed home through the breaches in Gaza’s border with Egypt on Sunday, as Egyptian authorities choked off supplies to the area and moved to restore control. Egypt has struggled to re-seal the border and contain hundreds of thousands of needy Gazans who poured across after Palestinian militants blasted openings in the wall last week to evade an Israeli blockade on Gaza. The Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz reports Egyptian security forces and members of Hamas have begun stringing barbed wire across some of the breaches in the border.
