Many Egyptians are uniting against President Mohamed Morsi's economic policies as his government pursues a $4.8 billion loan from the IMF. In order to qualify for the loan, the IMF has imposed strict rules, including an end to subsidies for many essentials such as food and fuel. Opponents feel these measures will make life more difficult for ordinary people already struggling in Egypt's weak economy, and that ultimately the loan will only add to the country's debt. Reuters reports.

The United Nations Relief & Works Agency in Palestine has scrapped plans for a marathon due to be run in the Gaza Strip after ruling faction Hamas declared women were not allowed to participate. Proceeds from the annual race would have been allocated to fund programs for children's recreation, and the event itself was intended to help shed light on the dire conditions in the Strip. However, Gaza's government declared that having women runners take part would violate the norms and culture of Palestinian society. This caused the UNRWA to cancel the marathon altogether, saying the United Nations is committed to upholding the values of equality.
