[1/4]People gather outside the Mastung hospital, following a deadly suicide attack on a religious gathering in Balochistan province, Pakistan, September 29, 2023 in this handout image. The TTP, responsible for some of the bloodiest attacks in Pakistan since its formation in 2007, denied responsibility for Friday's blasts. In July, more than 40 people were killed in a suicide bombing in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at a religious political party's gathering. The Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility for that attack.

☆ Ukraine's military medical care has been superior to Russia's, but the lasting Soviet doctrine of simply throwing waves of soldiers at your enemies could help make up for it

Military medicine experts told Insider Ukraine's medical care in war has been better than Russia's. But Ukraine's medical advantage could be undercut by the sheer number of potential Russian soldiers. The UK's MOD said last year that Russian soldiers were being advised to use women's sanitary products as first aid supplies.

But for Russian and Soviet soldiers, medical support has largely seemed to be an afterthought.

Ukraine is now believed to be one of the most mined country in the world since the Russia invasion. Some of the worst injuries coming out of the war have been amputations, many caused by the countless land mines Russia placed across broad swaths of Ukraine. Despite having signed the treaty, Ukraine has been accused by Human Rights Watch of using banned "butterfly" mines against Russia. Epstein said that the mines are only going to get more and more buried under dirt and snow. While Epstein said Ukraine has a good medical system, the demand for care will likely be overwhelming.

A New York Times report detailed how Ukrainian soldiers are coping with the mental trauma of war. One soldier who has nightmares said he saw evacuation vehicles mistakenly drive over wounded soldiers. "I remember the faces of all our dead comrades," another Ukrainian soldier told the Times. The sergeant, 28-year-old Vladyslav Ruziev, was among the Ukrainian soldiers who told the Times they were traumatized by what they'd seen in the ongoing war with Russia. The lack of progress and the number of wounded Ukrainian soldiers have started to take a toll on the country's morale, The Washington Post reported last week.

REUTERS/Fayaz AzizLAHORE/PESHAWAR, Pakistan, March 30 (Reuters) - At least five people have been killed in recent weeks and more injured in Pakistan in stampedes at sites distributing free flour under a government-backed scheme to help families struggling with soaring costs of basic staples. The Pakistani government has launched the flour distribution programme to reach millions of families in need during the holy Islamic month of Ramadan that began last week. Another person was killed in a stampede at a distribution centre last week in northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province according to records shared by the provincial food authority. "There were some unfortunate incidents of stampedes and looting," Khan Ghalib, an official at the provincial food department said.
