Human rights are not a ‘loophole’ – why can’t families from Gaza like mine seek safety in the UK? | Ghassan Ghaben

A mother, father and four children from Gaza were granted the right to live in the UK via the Ukraine family scheme.

Instead of being able to feel a moment of relief for this one family, we’ve had to face a vicious political and media backlash.

The UK media, government and even the prime minister have fixated on a “loophole” that allowed a family to be granted right to return to Gaza .

It obscures the reality that there is no Gaza family reunification scheme.
