  • Hundreds of seriously ill children from Gaza are set to be evacuated to the UK for treatment by the NHS under a new plan.
  • Up to 300 young people will receive free medical care under the scheme, expected to be announced within weeks.
  • The initiative comes amid a severe malnutrition crisis in Gaza, where health authorities report 92 children have died from hunger-related causes.

  • The plan will run in parallel to the privately funded Project Pure Hope, which has so far facilitated medical visas for only three children from Gaza.
