The first group of seriously ill children from Gaza are due to arrive in the UK this week to be treated by the NHS.
It is understood the youngsters are currently being cared for by medics in a neighbouring country before being flown to the UK for specialist treatment.
Ministers have been working with international partners to fast-track medical evacuations for the most critical cases from the war-torn enclave.
Hospitals in Gaza have been left in ruins, with long-term care for children all but impossible.
The UN charity Unicef estimates more than 50,000 children have been killed or injured since October 7, 2023.
