Jewish leaders have called on the Home Secretary to tackle “delays” in helping refugees fleeing Ukraine amid reports of a 90-year-old holocaust survivor trying to reach her granddaughter in London.
Marie van der Zyl, the president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, wrote to Priti Patel asking her to “substantially increase capacity” to provide UK visas to Ukrainian refugees who are “stranded and vulnerable to lack of shelter and malnutrition as well as the dangers of war”.
