The United Kingdom is preparing to launch a new initiative aimed at offering urgent medical care to children from Gaza.

Up to 300 children are expected to be transferred to the UK for specialized treatment through the National Health Service (NHS).

Each child will be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and in some cases, siblings. The Home Office will oversee biometric and security checks ahead of their arrival.

The plan is part of a broader humanitarian effort and will be formally announced in the coming weeks.

A government spokesperson said, “We are moving forward with our plans to evacuate more children in need of urgent care, including welcoming them to the UK for specialized treatment, when it is in their best interest.”

The initiative complements the work of the NGO Project Pure Hope, which has already helped three Gaza children receive private medical care in the UK.

So far, about 5,000 children have been evacuated from Gaza to Egypt and the Gulf states.
