There are currently 76 Palestinian students in Gaza who, against all odds, have secured places to study at 31 of the UK’s top universities. More than 35 of these students have full scholarships, while eight others are waiting for their internet to get back up and running so they can formally accept their unconditional offers.
Yet, despite their achievements, all of these students are currently unable to take up these hard-earned places, because they are unable to leave Gaza. For a number of them, these places have already been deferred from the last academic year, due to the lack of safe exit routes.
