Mahmoud Almassri, 31, who left the Gaza Strip in 2017 is desperate to bring his displaced family, who are living in a tent, to the UK.

A Palestinian student in Scotland who has spent a year trying to help his family escape Gaza has urged the UK Government to launch an initiative similar to the Ukraine Family Scheme.

He said his relatives feel “despair” as they grow increasingly less optimistic about the prospect of a ceasefire in Gaza. “Even if you have a residence permit in the UK, or whatever, you cannot leave Gaza – you are basically in prison,” he said. “I believe there should be a scheme because it only makes sense if the so-called free world really cares about the situation like a humanitarian crisis.”

“ have done it before for certain people, like the Ukrainian crisis, they can do it again for crises with the same severity, like what’s happening in Gaza – I think it’s just a matter of whether they want or they do not want to do,” Mr Almassri said. “It is about helping people to escape death. It is clear that there is almost no hope in the near future and innocent people are being killed in the thousands.
