As the world still struggles to cope with the challenges posed by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its after-effects, the sudden increase in monkeypox cases emerged as another scare.

As the world still struggles to cope with the challenges posed by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its after-effects, the sudden increase in monkeypox cases emerged as another scare. Now, North Korea said Friday (June 17) that hundreds of families have fallen ill with an "unidentified" intestinal disease. The situation will put immense pressure on the healthcare system of the country which is already strained by Covid. What do we know? The official KCNA this week announced a new "acute enteric epidemic" in South Hwanghae province. Kim has apparently urged officials to "contain the epidemic at the earliest date possible". Is it serious? Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un's sister, was one of a group of senior officials who reportedly personally donated medicine to try and help. This is a possible sign of the seriousness of the situation. Aid to families The state media KCNA reported Friday that the medicine will be delivered to "over 800 families suffering from the acute epidemic which broke out in some areas of South Hwanghae Province." The report didn't mention what kind of medicines. How many people are affected? As per the report, at least 1,600 people have been infected with the enteric disease. The reports have sparked speculation that the unspecified disease may be cholera or typhoid. Other risks In case it is confirmed, the outbreak could worsen the country's chronic food shortages because South Hwanghae province is one of North Korea's main agricultural regions.

Not Covid or monkeypox, North Korea reports outbreak of unidentified disease: Here's what we know so far

A report on Thursday (June 16) by The New York Times suggests that Iran is constructing a vast new network of tunnels at its Natanz nuclear site. Such construction would help the nation house a massive enrichment facility that would be impenetrable to bunker-busting bombs and cyberattacks.&nbsp;

In the report, it is mentioned that construction at the site has been monitored for several months by the United States and Israel. However, no country divulged details before. Only Israel's Defense Minister Benny Gantz made a brief remark.&nbsp;

While speaking at a conference at Herzliya's Reichman University, he said, "At this very time, Iran is making an effort to complete the production and installation of 1,000 advanced IR6 centrifuges at its nuclear facilities, including a new facility being built at an underground site near Natanz."&nbsp;

Although, there's a difference between what US and Israel have analysed. The US states that the intelligence knew about it and is following the new facility for more than a year. The facilities would take years to complete.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Israeli officials say that they believed Iran's goal is to enrich uranium in the underground facility with new, advanced centrifuges.&nbsp;

Last week, the UN nuclear watchdog told its member states that Iran has begun installing advanced IR-6 centrifuges in a cluster at an underground enrichment plant in line with a longstanding plan and now intends to add two more such clusters or cascades.&nbsp;

Iran's commercial-scale Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP) at Natanz is its biggest and was built underground, apparently to protect it from potential aerial bombardment.&nbsp;

A 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers only lets Iran use first-generation, IR-1 machines but in Washington's withdrawal in 2018 under then-President Donald Trump, Iran installed cascades of more efficient advanced centrifuges, like the IR-2m and IR-4.&nbsp;

Iran building vast network of underground tunnels at its Natanz nuclear site: Report

Multiple media outlets and independent newspapers in Hong Kong have been barred from attending the inauguration of incoming leader John Lee. They also won't be able to cover other July 1 events celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Handover, Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP) reported. The decision has been taken by authorities due to coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic restrictions and security reasons.&nbsp;

HKFP revealed that Japan's Nikkei, Asahi Shimbun and Kyodo News were not invited. Taiwan's CTV, United States' Getty Images, Hong Kong's InMedia, PSHK, TMHK and HKFP were not invited. Apart from these, the European Pressphoto Agency did not receive an invite.&nbsp;

Lee will assume office on July 1. The day coincides with the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's transfer from British to Chinese rule and the halfway point of the "One Country, Two Systems" political model.&nbsp;

If reports are to be believed, Chinese President Xi Jinping might attend the festivities. Media reports said that the hotels around Wan Chai's exhibition centre are apparently booked out by the government. In July 2017, Xi attended the swearing-in of Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam as part of a three-day trip.&nbsp;

Lee was chosen as the next chief in early May. The 64-year-old is a former security chief and he oversaw the crackdown on Hong Kong's democracy movement. He was the sole candidate in the race and received 99 per cent of the vote.&nbsp;

HKFP stated that the Information Services Department (ISD) invited select broadcasters to nominate 20 reporters to attend. Meanwhile, other news outlets were able to send ten journalists.&nbsp;

A spokesperson told HKFP, "The Government has adopted suitable media arrangements after taking into consideration the latest epidemic situation, security requirements and venue constraints, etc." "These factors pose impact on the number of media organisations being invited to apply for accreditation," they added.&nbsp;

Hong Kong: Multiple media outlets barred from attending swearing-in of new chief executive

The World Food Programme (WFP) of the United Nations on Thursday (June 16) began providing food aid to thousands of pregnant women in Sri Lanka amid an economic crisis. The body has warned of a potential humanitarian crisis where millions are in need of assistance, claiming that four out of five people began skipping meals because they cannot afford it. The organisation provided 2,000 food vouchers in Colombo’s 'underserved'&nbsp;districts. Anthea Webb, the deputy regional director for Asia and Pacific of WFP said, “When they skip meals they're putting their and their children's health at risk.”&nbsp;

The South Asian country has been in a limited supply of food, medicines, and fuel owing to diminishing foreign currency reserves and the government’s mismanagement. Due to the escalating fuel shortages, the government declared an additional holiday and ordered all schools to close on Friday to preserve diesel and gasoline.&nbsp;

Dinesh&nbsp;Karthik's blazing half-century and four wickets by Avesh Khan led India to a series-levelling 82-run victory over South Africa in the fourth Twenty20 international on Friday.&nbsp;

Karthik smashed 55 off 27 deliveries to guide India to 169-6, a total their bowlers defended by dismissing South Africa for 87 and level the five-match series at 2-2 in Rajkot.&nbsp;

The Proteas slipped to their lowest ever T20 total, two lower than their 89 all-out against Australia at Johannesburg in 2020.&nbsp;

Avesh returned his T20 best figures of 4-18 as the hosts in Rajkot defended their total with ease for the second time in a row with the series decider on Sunday in Bangalore.&nbsp;

The in-form Karthik set up the crushing victory with his maiden T20 fifty to lift India from a precarious 81-4 in the 13th over to take the attack to the opposition.&nbsp;

He put on a crucial 65-run stand with Hardik Pandya, who hit 46 off 31 deliveries, as the pair hammered the opposition bowlers to all parts of the ground.&nbsp;

The 37-year-old Karthik, who is enjoying his second coming with the national team, smashed nine fours and two sixes as he surpassed his previous best of 48 to make India plunder 73 runs from the final five overs.&nbsp;

Returning fast bowler Lungi Ngidi took two wickets.&nbsp;

In reply, the visitors were never in the chase after skipper Temba Bavuma retired hurt on eight with an injured elbow and the team soon lost two wickets.&nbsp;

Wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock was run out for 14 and Dwaine Pretorius out to Avesh in the fifth over.&nbsp;

Wickets kept tumbling and Harshal Patel raised the pitch at the nearly packed house after he bowled the dangerous David Miller for nine.&nbsp;

Avesh returned to take three wickets including Rassie van der Dussen for 20 in the 14th over to flatten South Africa on a seemingly tough pitch to bat.&nbsp;

Spinner Axar Patel got the ninth wicket to end South Africa's innings in 16.5 overs as Bavuma, who sat in the dugout with an ice pack on his elbow, did not come out back to bat.&nbsp;

Amid violent protests across India over the recently announced military recruitment policy, authorities have confirmed that one person died in Telangana's Secunderabad on Friday (June 17). Scores of others have been injured as agitators vandalised the Secunderabad Railway Station and set a train ablaze during a protest against the central government's scheme.&nbsp;

As quoted by India-based news agencies, the Superintendent of Gandhi Hospital, Raja Rao said, "Around 13 people were brought to the Gandhi hospital. One person was brought dead. After the panchama is done on the dead body, a post-mortem examination will be conducted."&nbsp;

"For four persons pellet bullet injuries have been noticed and for others, whether these are injuries from bullets or rubber bullet it is yet to be examined. The remaining injured are being examined by the doctors on duty. One person`s situation is critical, he has received a chest injury," the hospital superintendent said.&nbsp;

Afghanistan: At least one killed and several injured in Kunduz mosque bombing

Three Palestinians were killed and 12 others were wounded on Friday during an Israeli army raid in Jenin, a stronghold of armed Palestinian factions in the occupied West Bank.

The men were killed when Israeli forces opened fire on a vehicle in which they were, the Palestinian news agency Wafa said.

"Fierce clashes" then ensued in the area, with Israeli troops firing at Palestinians, wounding 12, Wafa reported.

An AFP photographer said a white vehicle riddled with bullet holes was in the area where Israeli forces have stepped up operations in recent months.

The men were identified as Yusef Salah, 23, Baraa Lahluh, 24, and Laith Abu Srur, 24, all from Jenin.

The Islamic group Hamas said Lahluh was one of its commanders in the West Bank and vowed that the killings "will not go unpunished".

The funerals of the three men took place early Friday afternoon in Jenin in the presence of large crowds and armed Palestinian fighters.

The Israeli army said in a statement that its troops had been conducting an operation in Jenin to search for weapons at two different locations.

The soldiers had come under fire as they arrived at the first location and they retaliated before identifying a suspicious vehicle on the side of the road on their way to the second location, it said.

"Armed assailants inside a vehicle shot at the soldiers, who responded with live fire to neutralise the assailants," the army said on its Twitter account.

Following an exchange of fire, soldiers found weapons, including two M-16 assault rifles and cartridges at the scene.

The Israeli army has ramped up raids in and around the occupied West Bank's Jenin camp, a stronghold of Palestinian armed factions.

Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, a prominent TV reporter with&nbsp;Al Jazeera, was shot dead last month in Jenin while she was covering an Israeli army operation.

The Palestinian Authority, Al Jazeera and Qatar, where the channel is based, accused the Israeli army of killing the journalist.&nbsp;Several journalistic probes have also pointed in the same direction.

A Palestinian investigation said the reporter who was wearing a bullet-proof vest with "press" written on it and a helmet when she was shot was killed in what it described as a war crime.

Israel has denied the allegations, arguing that she could have been killed by a Palestinian gunman, but later said it could not rule out the possibility that it was Israeli soldiers.

The Israeli army has not yet released its conclusion following an internal investigation.

The Israeli police had launched the internal investigation following an international outcry after Abu Akleh's coffin was almost dropped when police attacked the pallbearers during her funeral.

The United States has approved Pfizer and Moderna coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines for children as young as six months. The US Food and Drug Administration granted emergency authorisation Friday (June 17) for the use of Pfizer and Moderna jabs in the youngest children. This age group is the final age group that is awaiting immunisation against the deadly COVID-19 in most countries.&nbsp;This means almost every person in the US is now eligible for vaccination.&nbsp;

"Many parents, caregivers and clinicians have been waiting for a vaccine for younger children and this action will help protect those down to six months of age," Food and Drug Administration chief Robert Califf said in a statement.&nbsp;

"We expect that the vaccines for younger children will provide protection from the most severe outcomes of Covid-19, such as hospitalisation and death."&nbsp;

The agency authorized Moderna's two-dose vaccine for children aged six months to five years, and three doses of Pfizer's shots for those between six months and four years old.&nbsp;

The decision was announced after the FDA's committee of independent vaccine experts voted unanimously to recommend the jabs. In a lengthy meeting on Wednesday, the committee analysed the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines.&nbsp;

However, it must be recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) before they are put into use. Meanwhile, the US government has said that as soon as the FDA decision is made, 10 million doses could immediately be sent around the country, followed by millions more in subsequent weeks.&nbsp;

As mentioned by NBC News, the White House expects vaccinations to begin as soon as Tuesday.&nbsp;
