First group of Gaza children to be brought to UK 'in coming weeks'
A group of critically ill Palestinian children from Gaza will be brought to the UK for medical treatment in the coming weeks. The UK government, coordinated by the Foreign Office, Home Office, and Department of Health, plans to evacuate between 30 and 50 children with the help of the World Health Organization. This initiative follows calls from MPs and concerns about healthcare challenges in Gaza amid the conflict, where over 50,000 children have been killed or injured according to Unicef.
