The people of South Korea are voting in a snap presidential election called after the impeachment of the former president, Yoon Suk Yeol. He was forced from office after a disastrous attempt six months ago to declare martial law that's left the country deeply divided.
There have now been several incidents in Gaza where those trying to access aid under the US - Israeli backed scheme have been shot and killed. Pregnant women and newborns have been worst affected due to acute shortages of food and medicine.
