First children from Gaza arrive in UK for treatment
September 18, 2025
|The Independent
A group of 10 critically ill and injured children has been evacuated from Gaza to the UK for urgent NHS medical treatment, the government has announced.
The children arrived in the UK along with their immediate families after first being evacuated from Gaza to Jordan. The government said it is now working to ensure families are given "appropriate support" during their stay.
The evacuation of 10 children and 50 companions was coordinated by a cross-government taskforce over recent weeks and assisted by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Officials described it as a "complex humanitarian operation".
Their arrival comes as part of a scheme in which up to 300 young people will enter the UK for free medical care. More children will be arriving in the UK for care in the coming weeks.
Health secretary Wes Streeting said: "No one can fail to be distressed by the devastating impact the war has had on the children of Gaza, and I cannot imagine the fear and anguish their families have endured. It is a soul-destroying situation that compels us to act.
