Two children from Gaza have been evacuated to the UK for urgent medical treatment, the first patients to arrive after a 17-month campaign for Britain to accept those in need of hospital care. Medical aid organisations, community groups and MPs have been lobbying the UK government for months and meeting senior ministers about fully funded plans to treat a small amount of injured children privately in leading UK hospitals. For British-Palestinian families, these negotiations have kept alive a “glimmer of hope” that injured children could come to the UK for treatment.
