A group of 34 Palestinian students with places at UK universities have arrived to begin their studies after being evacuated from Gaza last week.
It is the first time since the war there began that people have been helped to leave Gaza in order to study in the UK.
After weeks of uncertainty about whether they would be able to travel due to the conflict - in which Israel recently launched a major ground offensive on Gaza City - the students were taken to Jordan last week to complete visa checks ahead of their arrival in the UK.
One student described the experience as "very intense" but said that they were now safe, well, and beginning to adjust to life in Britain.
All 34 hold fully funded scholarships and received support from the UK government in making the journey. The group includes members of the Chevening Scholarship, the UK government's flagship scheme for international students studying one-year master's degrees.
