Israel announced the reopening of the Kerem Shalom border crossing to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, just four days after its closure following a rocket attack that tragically claimed the lives of four soldiers. In a collaborative effort between the Israeli army and COGAT, the defence ministry body responsible for Palestinian civil affairs, trucks loaded with vital supplies such as food, water, shelter equipment, medicine, and medical supplies, generously donated by the international community, have begun arriving at the crossing from Egypt.
These essential supplies will undergo thorough inspection before being transferred to the Gaza side of the crossing, ensuring their safe and efficient delivery to those in need. Additionally, the statement highlighted the reopening of the Erez border crossing between Israel and northern Gaza, further facilitating the flow of aid into the Palestinian territory. This swift response underscores Israel's commitment to addressing the humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza, even in the face of security challenges, and demonstrates a willingness to engage in cooperative efforts to alleviate suffering and promote stability in the region.

Hamasās armed wing said that the commander of its forces in the Tulkarem area of the West Bank was among four members of the group killed during a day-long Israeli raid in the town of Dayr al-Ghusun. A statement from the Izzaldin al-Qassam Brigades names Alaa Shreiteh, 45, as commander of the al-Qassam Brigades in the Tulkarem governorate. Shreiteh was jailed by Israel between 2002 and 2016. According to the IDF, there was a twelve-hour gun battle in the Tulkarem area of the West Bank between its forces and Hamas militants in which four Hamas men were killed. However, the identity of Alaa Shreiteh was revealed by the al-Qassim brigade early on Sunday. Hamas confirmed that four of the men killed during the raid in Deir al-Ghusun village were from its al-Qassam armed wing. The Palestinian health ministry said their bodies had been taken by the Israeli military. There was no information about the fifth man, whose body was too disfigured for immediate identification, the Palestinian health ministry in the West Bank said.

Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for two attacks on ships in the Gulf of Aden and another assault in the Indian Ocean. The group's military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, announced the attacks on the MSC Diego and MSC Gina in the Gulf of Aden, along with the previously unreported attack on the MSC Vittoria in the Indian Ocean. These incidents raise concerns about the potential use of underwater drones (UUVs) by the Houthis, posing a significant threat to shipping, particularly in the Red Sea. The Centre for International Maritime Security has highlighted the secretive nature of Houthi UUV capabilities, warning of the devastating impact on targeted vessels. Amidst these developments, the Houthis have issued warnings to Israel over the conflict in the Gaza Strip, asserting that their attacks on shipping aim to pressure Israel to end the war. They have vowed to continue these assaults until Israel ceases its military actions in Gaza.

Abramowitz went on to say that the
"ongoing national shortages of therapies for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder also remain
a serious challenge for clinicians and patients.".
A separate ASHP report said that "the most severe and persistent shortages are driven by economic factors that undermine investment in manufacturing capacity, manufacturing quality and supply chain reliability.".
These economic challenges are
driven by extreme price competition
among generic manufacturers, ASHP, via report.
ASHP will continue to engage
with policymakers regularly as we guide
efforts to draft and pass new legislation
to address drug shortages and continue
to strongly advocate on behalf of our
members for solutions that work, ASHP CEO Paul Abramowitz, via statement.

Safety Tips for , Viewing the Upcoming , Solar Eclipse.
Ahead of the April 8 eclipse that can be viewed in the
United States, Fox News offered some safety tips for
anyone looking to catch a glimpse of the event. .
The number one tip is to wear proper eclipse glasses
which are significantly darker than normal sunglasses
and specifically designed for witnessing solar events. .
Genuine eclipse glasses will have an , ISO 12312-2 filter. .
NASA suggests people check the American
Astronomical Society's list of safe options
for selecting a brand of eclipse glasses.
Fox News warns that the popularity of the upcoming
eclipse has driven third-party vendors to flood
online marketplaces with fake eclipse glasses. .
People without eclipse glasses can still
view the eclipse with a pinhole projector
which can easily be made at home.
Cut a 1- to 2-inch square out of
the center of a piece of plain
white paper or white cardboard.
Cover the square you just cut out by taping
a piece of aluminum foil over the hole. .
Next, use a pin or thumbtack to
poke a hole in the aluminum foil.
A second piece of paper or cardboard
is used as the screen on which the
image of the eclipse will be projected.
To view: place the screen on the ground and stand with your back to the sun, holding your projector with the foil pointed toward the sky.
Adjust the distance between your projector
and the screen to make the image of
the eclipse appear larger or smaller.
