Gaza PhD student and family evacuated to UK after Foreign Office U-turn
AI Summary
After a policy U-turn, the UK government evacuated Manar al-Houbi, a Gaza student with a scholarship to the University of Glasgow, and her family to the UK. Houbi's case was highlighted after her family was initially denied entry despite her visa allowing them. The UK's Gaza evacuation scheme, set to expire December 31, 2025, has been criticized for delays and poor communication, leaving many students stuck in Gaza. While the government stated it would support evacuation of dependants on a case-by-case basis, some students report pressure to leave without their families. Wahhaj Muhammad, another student in Glasgow, was advised to evacuate alone, but his family remains trapped in Gaza with no timeline for their evacuation.
