This is The Guardian.
Today, the ordinary brits on an extraordinary mission to evacuate children from Gaza.
Over the summer,
the government promised to bring hundreds of desperately sick and injured children from Gaza to the UK for life-saving treatment.
We are accelerating efforts to evacuate children from Gaza who need critical medical assistance.
Dozens of countries across the Middle East and Europe have rescued thousands of Palestinian children with unbelievable injuries.
After almost two years of stalling, Britain was finally stepping up.
But so far, only a handful of children have safely made it through on the government scheme.
And meanwhile, four friends, ordinary citizens,
got together and worked out a way to bring kids here themselves.
Gaza, we've seen the entire healthcare system, they're destroyed.
We all felt that we had some of the skills,
some of the network and certainly the drive to try to do something which could save lives,
improve lives, specifically for children.
Even with the ceasefire, Gaza is the single most dangerous place in the world for a child to exist.
Israel has killed more than 20,000 children.
More than twice that number have been maimed.
At one point, more than 10 children lost one or two legs every day,
making the strip home to proportionally more young amputees than anywhere else on the planet.
But behind these statistics are families enduring unimaginable choices.
