Doctors are seeing an increase in colorectal cancer cases in younger people
SUMMARY: A survivor of colorectal cancer shares her story, highlighting the importance of early detection. Dr. Vanessa Huy explains that rising cases among younger individuals are linked to risk factors like obesity and alcohol use. Colorectal cancer is a serious concern, particularly for males under 55, where it ranks as the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Early-stage cancer has a high five-year survival rate, while advanced stages significantly decline. Symptoms to watch for include unexplained anemia, bowel habit changes, and weight loss. Dr. Huy emphasizes the need for colonoscopies and encourages proactive screening to save lives.
Dr. Vanessa Hui with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, a part of the University of Miami Health System, says some of the risk factors for colorectal cancer are preventable. Obesity, alcohol consumption and red meat consumption play a part in contributing to other factors that lead to early onset colorectal cancer.

Bethlehem is set to mark a second subdued Christmas during the war in Gaza
SUMMARY: Bethlehem is preparing for a subdued Christmas amid the ongoing war in Gaza, with traditional festive decorations and influxes of tourists notably absent. The festive atmosphere has been replaced by security measures around the Nativity Church, and Mayor Anton Salman emphasized the town’s enduring message of peace and hope while calling for an end to Palestinian suffering. With tourism, which constitutes about 70% of Bethlehem’s economy, severely impacted, unemployment has soared to nearly 50%. Access restrictions due to the conflict have also hindered movement, exacerbating economic challenges for the local population. Over 45,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza amid the violence.

South Korea’s opposition party vows to impeach acting president
SUMMARY: South Korea’s main opposition party plans to seek impeachment of acting leader Han Duck-soo after he missed a deadline to approve independent investigations into President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife. Han, the country’s No. 2 official, assumed presidential duties following Yoon’s impeachment. The opposition Democratic Party criticized Han for vetoing key bills and urged him to appoint justices to the Constitutional Court, which will decide Yoon’s fate. Han’s failure to act on opposition bills led to impeachment threats. Legal challenges over impeachment procedures and the requirement for a two-thirds majority could complicate the process.
