US EditionStarmer urged to engage with Scotland over Gaza evacuations
SCOTLAND AND GAZA, JUL 20 – Scotland offers NHS care for 2,000 injured Gaza children amid healthcare collapse but awaits UK Prime Minister's response, officials said.
- Earlier this month, John Swinney, Scotland’s First Minister, contacted Sir Keir Starmer to offer NHS treatment in Scotland for up to 2,000 children from Gaza who have been injured amid the ongoing conflict.
- This offer comes amid deteriorating conditions in Gaza, where numerous medical facilities have been heavily damaged by the Israel Defence Forces, leaving a healthcare system on the verge of collapse.
- Swinney declared a race against time after meeting Unicef, emphasizing Scotland’s preparedness to save as many children as possible but highlighted needing Labour Government support for UK visa access.
- He expressed profound disappointment that the UK Government has so far declined to engage in discussions about arranging medical transfers for Gaza’s children, who face fatal risks if they do not receive timely treatment.
- The Prime Minister has yet to reply, while UK representatives highlight that British aid has delivered vital medical assistance to more than 430,000 individuals in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and call for an immediate ceasefire along with unhindered humanitarian relief access.
