# A first group of severely ill children from Gaza have arrived in the UK under a scheme allowing them to receive urgent medical treatment. A cross-government taskforce has spent weeks coordinating the “complex humanitarian operation” to evacuate the children and their immediate families for specialist care under the state-run National Health Service. The World Health Organisation said that it had supported the medical evacuations of 10 critically ill children from Gaza to the UK, alongside 50 of their companions.
