Life in Hell

A Guardian report describes Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town in Ukraine's Kherson region, as 'hell on earth', saying the few remaining residents are reduced to eating weeds to survive. The account highlights severe food shortages, destroyed infrastructure and the dangers of life under occupation, drawing renewed attention to the humanitarian crisis in the occupied east bank of the Dnipro river.

A man in the United States says an Amish preacher called him by phone solely to tell him he is going to hell. He argues the Amish are not the gentle, old-fashioned community many imagine, pointing to accounts from former members who describe the faith quite differently. The claim is drawing attention as discussion about the reality of life inside Amish communities resurfaces online.

A man writing from what he describes as life 'like hell' says killing, loss and illness strike every day, and that suffering has become routine that nobody cares about. His words echo the daily accounts coming from Gaza, where residents describe relentless casualties and collapsing health conditions, saying they may die at any moment while the world watches in silence.
