This week, Claire writes about Palestine. As of yesterday, more than 30,000 have been killed by the Israeli occupying forces. What does the genocide in Palestine have to do with cancer? 

When we think about cancer prevention, we think of things like clean air, food and water, access to routine screenings, stress reduction. None of those things are available anywhere in Gaza right now. 

Please take a moment with me to honor everyone who has died from cancer in Palestine, everyone living with cancer in Gaza now, and everyone who will have to live and die with cancer as a result of the genocide.
