Plans to evacuate more seriously ill or injured children from Gaza and bring them to the UK for medical treatment are being carried out "at pace", the government says.
The BBC understands the aim is to bring the plan into operation within weeks.
It is unclear how many children might be involved, but the Sunday Times reports the government is to allow up to 300 young people to enter the UK to receive free medical care.
Some Gazan children have already been brought privately to the UK for medical treatment through an initiative by Project Pure Hope, but the government has so far not evacuated any through its own scheme during the conflict.
A government spokesperson said on Sunday the plan was to "evacuate children from Gaza who require urgent medical care," adding "we are working at pace to do so as quickly as possible."
