An English teacher, she said she had been preparing an online lesson in the kitchen of her one-bedroom apartment, close by her parents’ flat, when the shelling started. “I remember just the explosion,” she said. “I just returned from shopping and crazy explosions, noise.” Yana Bachek and partner Yengeniy Vlasenko in her family's apartment in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

Sitting in her kitchen, occasionally fighting back tears, Bachek, their only child, shared family photos showing her father with an Elvis-style quiff on holiday by the Black Sea, beaming at Lyubov or swinging his granddaughter playfully in a shopping bag. Now she waits until her father can be buried but here too the war has imposed an additional agony as the sheer number of dead has grown and normal funerals have become impossible.

KZN rain bomb was last seen five or six generations ago | CitypressNo one could have predicted the “rain bomb” that fell over KwaZulu-Natal in the past week, but better planning could have limited the subsequent damage, writes Marzahn Botha. Unfortunately this has become the norm. Planning includes services, service roads, sewerage, storm water drainage etc. All this BEFORE any housing can be constructed. Nowadays in SA, houses are erected informally anywhere without any of this in place. Another gov failure. That's True. Get rid of all housing on highway routes. All over the country
