Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader has called for the UK Government to introduce a Ukraine-style visa scheme to help displaced people in Gaza to join family in the UK.

Liz Saville Roberts raised the plight of one of her constituents, who wants the introduction of the scheme to allow her Palestinian family to escape the conflict in Gaza and come to safety in the UK.

Emily Fares, from Llwyngwril in Gwynedd, has multiple family members trapped in Gaza, half of whom have now fled Rafah.

Ms Fares told her MP that the family have left for Al Mawasi, but that “there is no building there for them to stay”, “no food provisions”, “nowhere to go to the toilet, nowhere to wash”, adding that they are “utterly destitute”.
