News in Brief - 29 March 2022 - Ukraine war, food insecurity, and South Sudan flooding

This week we spotlight the Human Rights Council’s special session on atrocities happening in Ukraine, post Russia’s invasion. 

We’ll also be heading to Afghanistan for the latest alarming UN assessments on food insecurity there, and to the Occupied West Bank - after the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh - and to DPR Korea, where health agency WHO, is committed to do help stop the spread of COVID-19. 

We also have some good news about successful malaria vaccine trials in Africa, which could save tens of thousands of children’s lives.
