๐ฎ๐ฑ๐งฌ Israel Once Had the Second Highest Skin Cancer Rate in the World
In 2003, Israel was ranked 2nd in the world for having the highest skin cancer rate per capita.
Now they sit at 23rd in the world.
What did they do to fall so dramatically in the rankings?
1. The Israel Cancer Association (ICA) ran the โSmart in the Sunโ program: This program warned Israelis about the dangers of sun exposure and the importance of protective measures such as sunscreen.
2. The ICA also runs an annual โSkin Cancer Prevention and Detection Awareness Weekโ: During this week, every Israeli is entitled to free skin cancer screenings through Israelโs national health system. This initiative increases early diagnosis rates.
3. Educational programs were introduced in schools: These programs teach students from a young age about the dangers of UV radiation. The curriculum teaches students to wear protective clothing, use sunscreen, and avoid sun exposure during peak hours (10 am - 4 pm).
4. Investments in medical research: Israel has made substantial investments in medical research, particularly in immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma.
5. Public health campaigns promoting regular skin checks: These campaigns have led to Israelis getting check-ups frequently. In 2019, it was reported that 92% of melanoma cases were diagnosed early, significantly improving treatment outcomes.
These measures collectively contributed to a significant decrease in skin cancer cases in Israel.
For context, here are the global rankings of other countries in the region based on their skin cancer rates per capita:
๐ฑ๐ง Lebanon | 141st
๐ธ๐พ Syria | 140th
๐ธ๐ฆ Saudi Arabia | 158th
๐ช๐ฌ Egypt | 121st
๐ฎ๐ถ Iraq | 137th
๐พ๐ช Yemen | 175th
As you can see, even after all of Israelโs efforts to combat the issue, they still rank far higher on the list than other countries in the region.
Itโs odd right?
For a group claiming to be indigenous to the land, their skin sure seems like it isnโt adapted to the climate.
Hmmmm, makes you wonderโฆ
Chaos breaks out in New York City after underground tunnels were discovered under the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn.
The incident below reportedly took place to prevent a cement truck from filling the tunnels.
According to the Crown Heights Info, the tunnels were made in the past 6 months in an effort to expand 770.
Other reports suggest the tunnels were dug by Yeshiva men during COV*D after they were locked out of 770.
The tunnel reportedly stretched from the Mikvah building to the women's portion of 770. The tunnel was discovered after someone started hearing people "in" his home.
About ten arrests were made after some refused to leave the tunnels.
๐จ๐ต๐ธ STATEMENT FROM HAMAS:
We are opening a battle that will expand, escalate, and deepen, and its goal is the freedom of our people and their sanctities, and our right to be free and secure in a free and independent homeland.
If the whole world were silent, we would not remain silent about the desecration of our sanctities, the attempts to desecrate Al-Aqsa, and the attacks on Al-Aqsa.
We will do everything necessary to preserve the dignity, existence and freedom of our people.
There will be no talk even about the details of the dead and captured Israelis, and our prisoners in prisons whose freedom is at hand.
