Care and support package, including housing, will help 30-50 young Palestinians for an initial two years
The first group of children from Gaza have arrived in the UK for specialist life-saving treatment on the NHS, the Guardian understands.
Yvette Cooper, the foreign secretary, informed the parliamentary Labour party on Monday evening about the development. On arrival in the UK, the patients and their families have been granted access to NHS treatment, appropriate housing and comprehensive support services for an initial two-year period.
They are the first children to be brought to the UK for treatment as part of a government operation being coordinated by the Foreign Office, the Home Office and the Department of Health and Social Care.
Between 30 and 50 young Palestinians are expected to be treated, while two critically ill children and their families arrived in Scotland for treatment, according to Holyrood.
