Behind the Scenes World News in Brief Ukraine drone attacks, Afghan rights, Zero-Waste Day
A night of drone attacks reportedly killed two people and injured twelve in the Ukrainian port city of Odesa. The attacks also damaged a maternity hospital and three educational facilities. In another night of terror for civilians, on March 28th, a drone strike hit the Odesa Maternity Hospital No.5 with dozens of pregnant women and newborns inside. However, the patients were safe due to the underground shelter, and no one was hurt in the strike, according to the UN World Health Organisation (WHO). Elsewhere in Ukraine, the Mykolaiv region also came under attack, resulting in the death of a child and injuries to several other residents, including children.

In Afghanistan, women and girls continue to be erased from public life through Taliban decree. According to a new report by the UN human rights office, this occurs every year, with roughly a billion tonnes of food thrown away that is absolutely safe to eat. Around 60 per cent of food waste happens at the household level while the rest comes mostly from food service and retail. The issue was in the spotlight on Monday, the International Day of Zero Waste.

In conclusion, these world news briefs cover drone attacks in Ukraine, Afghan rights for women and girls, and a day of zero-waste worldwide.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
