The students have all been awarded Chevening scholarships, a global programme funded by the Foreign Office.
The scholarship supports one-year Masters’ degrees for students with demonstrable potential to become future leaders, decision-makers and opinion formers.
The breakthrough follows months of advocacy and campaigning by more than 100 MPs, university leaders and other civil society organisations. More than 80 Palestinian students in total have offers at UK universities, including 40 who have secured full scholarships.
“On the one hand, relief that indeed there is a shared sense of the importance and urgency of the students’ situation – and on the other our hearts sank. What about the rest? We must believe that this is only a start,” the Guardian quoted her as saying.
Some are due to start on 1 September but have faced visa problems.
Earlier this month Sir Keir Starmer said the UK was “urgently accelerating” efforts to evacuate children needing critical medical help. “The images of starvation and desperation in Gaza are utterly horrifying,” he told the Mirror at the time.
“We are doing everything we can to support their safe exit and onward travel to the UK but the situation on the ground in Gaza makes this extremely challenging,” the Guardian quoted the spokesperson as saying.
