52 students from Gaza will arrive in Ireland this week to begin scholarships granted by education institutions, the Irish Foreign Minister Simon Harris has said.
“I welcome the arrival of these Palestinian young people to Ireland, and wish them every success with their studies here,” Harris told AFP.
The first group of 26 Palestinians will arrive today, with the remaining arriving between Friday and Sunday.
Ireland has supported more than 200 people to leave Gaza and travel to the country since Israel’s genocide.
