Summary
US media reports say Egypt will open its border crossing to Gaza to allow Palestinians with dual nationality out and much-needed aid in

It has been reported that the Rafah crossing would open for several hours from 09:00 local time (06:00 GMT) but officials have not confirmed this

US nationals in Gaza had previously been told to move closer to the crossing, while US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said it "will be open" for aid without giving timings

For days, people have been arriving at the border, as conditions in Gaza steadily worsen

Meanwhile, the Israeli military says it is evacuating 28 communities within 2km (1.24 miles) of the Lebanese border

US President Joe Biden has called on Israel to exercise caution, as its military prepares for a ground offensive in Gaza

More than 1,400 people in Israel were killed in Hamas attacks just over a week ago; Nearly 2,700 people in Gaza have been killed in Israel's retaliatory bombardment
