Palestinians wait to cross into Egypt through Rafah border crossing in the southern Gaza Strip, Wednesday, July 2, 2008. Hundreds of Palestinians stormed the Gaza Strip's border crossing with Egypt on Wednesday, throwing rocks at Egyptian troops and demanding to cross through, witnesses said. The Palestinians accused Egypt of reneging on a promise to open the vital crossing, which has been virtually sealed for the past year since the Hamas militant group seized control of Gaza. But Egyptian officials said Hamas had broken the agreement by sending unauthorized people to cross. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)
