The destruction of war
Dear readers,

Data compiled by the United Nations in the academic project 'Cost of War' indicate that more people are dying each day in Gaza than in Iraq, in Syria or in the first month of the war in Ukraine. It is difficult to find similar numbers in other recent conflicts.

Meanwhile, Kyiv started to issue new housing certificates for people whose homes were destroyed by the Russian offensive. We spoke with a couple, Liudmila and Gregori, whose story illustrates how war can suddenly take someone who had a good life and plunge them into the abyss.

Back in the U.S., only Donald Trump and Nikki Haley are left standing in the race for the Republican nomination after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis bowed out. We interviewed the acclaimed writer Naomi Klein about her new book and her thoughts on the state of American politics and society.

We hope you enjoy this selection of stories.

Thanks for reading
