Palestinian Territories - Q&A - Extract from the press briefing (22 April 2024)

Q: With regard to wounded children being treated in France, you recently said that in addition to the primary person accompanying them, the rest of the child's close family is authorized to come to France as part of an accelerated reunification process.

Yet so far no close family members have been able to come, and currently couples are separated, very young children including babies are without their mother or father, and they remain in Gaza under bombardment.

What do families have to do to take advantage of this process? What service is in charge of bringing them over? Are you going to place the families on urgent lists and charter a flight?

A: Please address your questions to the Ministry of the Interior.
