Gazan children coming to UK for medical treatment

UP TO 300 children could be evacuated from Gaza and given NHS treatment in the UK.

The plans are reportedly set to be announced within weeks.

A parent or guardian will accompany each child, as well as siblings if necessary, and the Home Office will carry out biometric and security checks before travel, the Sunday Times reported.

This will happen “in parallel” with an initiative by Project Pure Hope, a group set up to bring sick and injured Gazan children to the UK privately for treatment.

More than 50,000 children are estimated to have been killed or injured in Gaza since October 2023, according to Unicef.

Sir Keir Starmer said last week that the UK was “urgently accelerating” efforts to bring children over for treatment.
