Summary
Two Palestinian girls, Ghena (5) and Rama (12), suffering from serious health conditions, have arrived in the UK for medical treatment, marking the first temporary UK visas granted since the outbreak of war between Hamas and Israel in October 2023. Their healthcare needs cannot be met in Gaza, where hospitals are overwhelmed; Ghena requires surgery to prevent potential loss of sight, while Rama has a lifelong bowel condition exacerbated by the war. Their families hope for better futures and urge for more children to receive similar opportunities for essential medical care.
