may 1, 2025 - 2 Gazans in UK for Treatment

Description:

Two Palestinian girls with serious health conditions have been brought to the UK for private medical treatment.

The Gazan children are the first to be granted temporary UK visas since the war between Hamas and Israel broke out in October 2023.

Ghena, five, and Rama, 12 arrived in the UK from Egypt on Saturday to be treated for conditions which cannot be dealt with in war torn Gaza, Project Pure Hope (PPH) said.

Ghena's mother said she hoped other children "would get the chance" to benefit from the chance to receive medical care overseas.
