- Fifteen-Year-Old Majd Alshagnobi reached Heathrow Airport in London on Wednesday evening, accompanied by his mother and siblings, to receive urgent medical care for injuries sustained in the war.

- Project Pure Hope, formed by volunteers in November 2023, helped Majd come to the UK amid a campaign to create a scheme for evacuating 30 to 50 injured Gazan children.

- Majd's arrival follows government pledges to accelerate evacuations amid mounting evidence of starvation and disease threatening 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza.
