Family members of 21 seriously ill Ukrainian children airlifted to the UK, amid much government fanfare, fear they may never see them again because of delays in visa processing.
The children, who were flown to the UK on 13 March, have cancer and some are receiving end-of-life care. For others the prognosis is more encouraging. Of the 21 families in the UK, 18 consist of a mother and a child. Many are being accommodated in hotels, which are difficult to live in when parents are spending long periods by their children’s hospital bedsides.
