Three fathers remain trapped in Gaza while their wives and children – some of whom are facing complex, ongoing medical treatment in Ireland – wait for a reunion that has not come.
Families and volunteers have again appealed to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to help bring the men to Ireland, warning the separation is compounding trauma for children already recovering from life‑changing injuries and illnesses.
