URGENT: Charities Slam UK Ban on Gaza Students Bringing Families, Demand Immediate Reversal

BREAKING NEWS UK Charities Slam Ban on Gaza Students Bringing Families, Demand Reversal 34 university students from Gaza with scholarships at British universities were evacuated last week to start their studies in the UK. However, tighter immigration rules now bar them from bringing dependents, forcing some students to choose between education and family. The UK government claims it wants to "bring people who are able to study" but charities argue this is an "excessively harsh" policy that causes "further pain or hardship". Charities and universities have criticized the ban, with the Refugee Council's Enver Solomon saying: "No one should be forced to choose between their education and loved ones." The UK government has yet to respond to demands for an immediate reversal of the policy. This is a developing story. *This is a developing story.
