DAN HODGES: Cynical reason Labour offering NHS help to Gaza children

In the coming weeks, up to 300 sick children from Gaza, along with family members, will be evacuated to the United Kingdom for treatment on the national health service, a move organized by senior Labour ministers. The plan has sparked controversy, with critics questioning whether the health service has the capacity to treat foreign patients without impacting British children, as over 340,000 young people are currently awaiting care. Concerns have also been raised about the selection process for the Gazan children, which is reportedly overseen by doctors working for the Hamas-run health ministry, and whether clinical need or political motives are driving the scheme. The article argues that the initiative is less about humanitarian compassion and more about Labour's political strategy, prioritizing Gaza over other global conflict zones due to domestic electoral pressures.
