The UN said Wednesday its Gaza child polio vaccination drive was complete, with more than half a million children vaccinated despite the Israel-Hamas war raging in the Palestinian territory.

The World Health Organization and the United Nations children's agency UNICEF launched a second round of vaccinations in northern Gaza on Saturday after Israeli bombing halted an earlier attempt to do so.

An Iranian student who stripped to her underwear in Tehran to protest alleged harassment over her clothing has been transferred to a centre of "specialised care", the Iranian Embassy in Paris said Wednesday.

"The student in question suffers from psychological fragility and was transferred by an ambulance of the emergency social services to a specialised care centre," it said, without giving further details about the centre.

Concern has grown over the whereabouts and welfare of the young woman, with activists worried authorities could confine her in a psychiatric institution.

In his bomb-damaged living room, Moussa Zahran mourns his neighbours who fled south Lebanon only to be killed in an Israeli strike as they sought shelter closer to the capital.

"They fled death, but it caught up with them here," the 54-year-old said of the Tuesday night strike on his neighbours' apartment block on the outskirts of the town of Barja, about 30 kilometres (20 miles) south of Beirut.

The strike hit a first-floor apartment being lived in by families who had fled the south after Israel intensified its campaign against Hezbollah in late September.

Incoming US president Donald Trump pulled off a surprising feat late in the campaign, making gains with Muslim voters with a characteristically bold promise to end bloodshed in the Middle East.

Now, his new supporters are celebrating his victory and confident he will deliver despite Israel, led by his close ally Benjamin Netanyahu, continuing its 13-month siege of Gaza and bombardment of neighboring Lebanon.

Israelis in Jerusalem welcomed Donald Trump's US election triumph on Wednesday, hoping he might help end the wars devastating the region, while some called it "part of God's plan".

"I believe in God, so this is part of God's plan," Esther Henderson, 44, a shopper in the ancient city's popular Mahane Yehuda market, told AFP.

"I feel like this is part of God showing us that the evil side, the more corrupt, the globalism, is starting to fall down," she said.

"It's not that I love Trump so much," said Henderson. "I just don't like what's been going on in the world lately."

When Donald Trump was last in the White House, he pursued a policy of "maximum pressure" against the Islamic republic of Iran, including punishing sanctions.

Now that he is set to begin another term as US president in January, anxiety is mounting in Tehran that more of the same will follow.

During Trump's first term, the United States also killed a revered Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps general in an air strike on Baghdad airport in Iraq.

Such history between the two long-time adversaries casts a dark shadow over the prospect of relations improving.

Palestinians in Gaza on Wednesday want Donald Trump, who won the US election, to end the war between Israel and Hamas that has devastated their territory.

The conflict sparked by Hamas's October 7 attack has taken an appalling human toll in the Gaza Strip, displacing most of its residents, causing widespread hunger and death, and leaving hospitals struggling to cope.

"We were displaced, killed... there's nothing left for us, we want peace," Mamdouh al-Jadba, who was displaced to Gaza City from Jabalia, told AFP.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the "Iranian threat" in a call with US president-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday as the wars in Gaza and Lebanon show no sign of easing.

Saudi state media also reported that the Gulf heavyweight's de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, spoke to Trump to congratulate him.

A trip to Riyadh was Trump's first foreign visit after he took office in 2017.

Lebanon said Wednesday that it had filed a complaint with the United Nations' labour agency over deadly attacks on communication devices across the country in September, which it blames on Israel.

Lebanese Labour Minister Mustafa Bayram called the attack an "egregious war against humanity, against technology, against work", saying his country had filed the complaint with the International Labour Organization in Geneva.

"It's a very dangerous precedent," he told journalists in the Swiss city at an event organised by the UN correspondents' association ACANU.

A referendum in Qatar to scrap short-lived legislative polls has passed with more than 90 percent of the vote, officials said on Wednesday, ending a flirtation with democracy in the Gulf monarchy.

The vote approved a raft of constitutional amendments with 90.6 percent of valid ballots cast by Qatari citizens, the interior ministry said.

"By participating in the referendum and by voting in favour of the constitutional amendments, Qataris have celebrated... the values of unity and justice," Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, posted on X.
