The Government is working urgently to get some of the critically ill and injured children medically evacuated from Gaza.

The costs associated with this process will not be finalised until we know which patients will travel to the United Kingdom and how many patients will travel. UK Government departments will absorb the costs from within their existing budgets. Therefore, no additional funding will be provided to the devolved administrations.
