Between 30 and 50 critically ill Palestinian children will be evacuated from Gaza to the UK for medical treatment in coming weeks. The selection of children will be made by the World Health Organization, and they will travel with family members via a third country for biometric data collection.

Since the start of the conflict in October, over 50,000 children have been killed or injured, as reported by Unicef.
