A full-scale Israeli military assault on Rafah is taking place. Thousands of people have been killed and all main hospitals have shut down.

Governments must suspend arms transfers to Israel to prevent their use in further atrocities. #CeasefireNOW

SIOP Africa Congress. It has been such a fantastic meeting. How pleasant it is for brothers and sisters to meet together, in unity. Until 2024 in Abuja. We look forward to an even better meeting then.

It was a privilege to chat to @GevTamamyan and hear about the inspiring work being done in Armenia to improve the care for children with cancer, and much more including resilience and not giving up. @WorldSIOP @AsiaSiop @oncodaily https://t.co/1xVaNTYCia

This was an interesting and fun conversation with @nr_pedhemonc. I learnt a lot about my pet hate - treatment abandonment in childhood cancer. Thank you @nr_pedhemonc for educating me and listening to me. https://t.co/sKfHICX9cZ @WorldSIOP @oncodaily @AsiaSiop
