For three years, I shared a house with a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto. It was a beautiful old Palestinian house in West Jerusalem, a house that Israelis had seized in the Nakba in 1948, which was divided into two. I lived in the front and he lived in the back. He used to wait for me every day in the garden that both sides of the house shared, and tell me stories about the ghetto - about the sense of destruction, and how he managed to sneak food to his family.

AbstractBackground Lesion resolution is often observed in children with myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), and asymptomatic lesions are less commonly reported in MOGAD than in multiple sclerosis (MS). Objective We aimed to evaluate brain MRI changes over time in paediatric MOGAD. Methods Retrospective study in eight UK paediatric neuroscience centres. Acute brain MRI and available follow-up MRIs were reviewed.

At the time of writing, more than 3200 children have been killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023. This represents more than the annual number of children killed worldwide in every conflict since 2019, and is the equivalent of one child killed every 15 minutes.
