Gaza aid centres close for a day

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says it's suspending opeations until Thursday.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation - backed by the US and Israel - was supposed to be the solution to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza but with three incidents of mass shootings near their distribution sites in the past few days, the group now says it is suspending operations until Thursday.

Less than a full day since being declared the winner in South Korea's presidential election, Lee Jae-myung has been sworn in as the country's new leader, with a promise to rebuild political and economic stability after the turmoil caused by the brief declaration of martial law.

And Ukrainian forces have claimed responsibility for another covert operation against Russia with a bomb attack on the strategically important Kerch Bridge in Crimea.
