Officials say one person was killed and two others were hospitalized when a section of crane fell from a building in downtown Fort Lauderdale. A construction crew was in the process of stepping the crane during the construction of a high-rise building when a section being prepared to increase the crane's height came loose. One construction worker fell with the crane section causing fatal injuries. The crane section landed on a nearby bridge damaging at least two vehicles. A man and a woman who had been on the ground were taken to a nearby hospital. The bridge and the river that runs underneath it are closed indefinitely. I'm Lisa Dwyer. AP correspondent Alex Vega reports on mortgage rates. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate on a 30 year mortgage rose to 6.87 percent this week. It's now just below where it was two weeks ago. Despite a bumpy trajectory this year the average rate on a 30 year mortgage is still down from 7.79 percent in late October. That overall decline in rates from their recent peak helped lift sales of previously occupied US homes in January and February. I'm Alex Vega. This is AP News. One aid organization that's operated in Gaza for decades suspended operations after the deadly air strike on World Central Kitchen workers. Here's the AP saw Graham McGonney. Aneera has been in Gaza since the 1967 Arab-Israeli War and has delivered food medicine and other raids since the Hamas wars started in October. That changed earlier this week. For the first time our staff in Gaza said we have to pause. We can't keep going. Aneera president Sean Carroll says it's understandable. How can we operate if if no one is safe? Carroll questions Israel's claims that the strikes were a mistake, noting the other aid workers killed the past six months. He worries a deliveries themselves are now in danger. Humanitarianism and therefore humanity is injured. I'm Hayapan-Jwani, AP News.
