The SNP MP Hannah Bardell has expressed her disgust at British citizens having to pay for their own flights home from GazaMP has said she was “horrified” to learn that Scottish citizens attempting to escape from Gaza could be charged thousands of pounds to get back home.
Bardell said: “So I spent part of this afternoon with one of my constituents who is Palestinian and who was seeking support from myself and my team to help get members of her family – 13 of them – over the Rafah crossing and out of Gaza and away from the bombing. “Now, given that this is an evacuation situation – and the same has happened, I know, when British citizens were evacuated from Tel Aviv – just ridiculous.want to charge my constituents family £5,000 to escape and get home from war torn Gaza. What an outrage. I’ll be raising this again with them, it’s disgusting 😡“People should be being brought back home to the UK and home free of charge because they are fleeing terrible, terrible circumstances.
