The shame on our country that those in a position to help don’t do everything possible to grant Malak the visa she so clearly deserves.
Around 80 students from Gaza have defied unimaginable challenges - managing, in the midst of a war, to get accepted by UK universities. We've been speaking to 19-year-old Malak, who's been awarded a scholarship to study at Cambridge but can't get here due to Home Office rules.
