Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 24: For many youngsters, cancer remains an abstract and frightening concept that would mean - the end of life. This public health concern is often surrounded by fear, myths, and uncertainty due to limited open discussions about this complex disease. This may hinder their ability to make conscious efforts to take care of their health and assist family members suffering from cancer. Thus, there is a need for increasing awareness about cancer and its risk factors, prevention strategies, and available treatment options among youngsters, especially college-goers, to foster an informed society and shift the narrative from fear to hope. Recognizing this pressing need, Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road hosted a cancer awareness event titled 'Breaking Barriers, Building Awareness' on Friday, 20 December.

Thirty-eight people are confirmed dead, and over 100 remain missing in Congro after an overloaded ferry -- full of people returning home for Christmas -- capsized in the river Burisa late on Friday night, according to local officials and eyewitnesses.
Twenty people are confirmed to have been rescued so far.
The boat was travelling in the northeast of the Congo as part of a convoy of other vessels, and the passengers were primarily merchants returning home for Christmas, said Joseph Joseph Kangolingoli, the mayor of Ingende, the last town before the site of the accident.
The capsizing occurred less than four days after another boat in the northeast of the country capsized, killing 25.
According to Ndolo Kaddy, a resident of Ingende, the ferry contained "more than 400 people because it made two ports, Ingende and Loolo, on the way to Boende, so there is reason to believe that there were more deaths".
Congolese officials have often warned against overloading and vowed to punish those
