MPs issue plea over Gaza student visa delay

MPs have expressed concern over the delays in processing student visa applications from Gaza. They argue that students from Gaza are unable to meet the visa requirements due to the lack of a dedicated visa application center in the region. The issue has been raised in the House of Commons, where MPs have called on the government to address the problem. They contend that the current system places an unfair burden on Gazan students, who must travel outside of the territory to submit their applications, which can be both costly and logistically challenging. The MPs emphasize the importance of providing educational opportunities for Gazan students, as it can contribute to the long-term development and stability of the region. They urge the government to find a solution that ensures fair and timely processing of student visa applications, without creating unnecessary barriers for those seeking to pursue higher education.
