Gaza aid stuck as Egypt says Israel not cooperating - Reuters
Egypt said on Monday that Israel was not cooperating with delivery of aid into Gaza and evacuations of foreign passport holders via the only entry it does not wholly control, leaving hundreds of tonnes of supplies stuck.

Can someone eli5 me why the Israeli airstrikes inside Gaza mean Egypt can't open the border?
It is almost like Israel doesn't want this aid to reach Gaza.
Because last week Israel bombed the Gaza side of the border checkpoint multiple times.
My understanding is they'd need Israeli cooperation to ensure the area Gaza-side would be safe from bombardment.
They bombed the crossing once. They can and will do it again to enforce their blockade.
Israel own a 100m strip at the border. It can't be opened unless Israel agrees.
Do you have a source for this? Everything I’ve read has stated that that border is controlled by Egypt and Hamas.
