Princess Dina Mired: As a mother of a cancer survivor, my heart goes out to all the innocent children in Gazza who now have to wait whilst cancer is ravaging their tiny bodies since there is no more chemotherapy

Princess Dina Mired: As a mother of a cancer survivor, my heart goes out to all the innocent children in Gazza who now have to wait whilst cancer is ravaging their tiny bodies since there is no more chemotherapy

HRH Princess Dina Mired of Jordan shared on her X (Twitter):

“Cancer loves wars and conflicts. During wars, cancer reigns supreme with no opposition to its deadly plans: No chemotherapy, no surgery and no radiation to stop cancer in its track. (in fact in Gazza radiation-therapy was never allowed even before this latest war)

As a mother of a cancer survivor, my heart goes out to all the innocent children in Gazza who now have to wait whilst cancer is ravaging their tiny bodies since there is no more chemotherapy…the ultimate nightmare for any parent…

The sad reality is, that the below kids in the picture might die from bombing, hunger or thirst, well before cancer has its final say.

I implore all to demand ceasefire NOW to help all innocent civilians have breather to receive food, water and medication.”
