Fifteen-year-old Majd al-Shaghnobi, the first war-injured Gazan child to receive treatment in the UK, has arrived in London for reconstructive surgery at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Severely wounded by an Israeli tank shell in February 2024, Majd lost his jaw and teeth while seeking food. UK charity Project Pure Hope facilitated his evacuation after months of campaigning. His surgery will be performed pro bono by a team of specialists. Co-founder Omar Din called the UK government’s support “long-overdue.” PM Keir Starmer recently pledged to help more children. UN agencies report worsening starvation and suffering for children still trapped in Gaza. (PC: BBC)
