Gaza Students Face Scholarship Threats in Belgium
Thirteen students and researchers from Gaza are at risk of losing their scholarships at Belgian universities due to the Belgian government's failure to reach an agreement on an evacuation plan from the war-affected area. The Belgian government's plan, which involves five parties, has stalled due to disagreements within the ruling coalition, preventing the students from completing their visa procedures, as they cannot leave Gaza to travel to places like Jerusalem or Cairo to obtain visas. The students express their frustration over missing the opportunity to study, especially since most of them received scholarships from highly competitive academic programs. They hope to return after completing their studies to help in the reconstruction of Gaza. On the other hand, the Belgian government warns against bringing in the students, citing security and political concerns, and there are conflicting positions within the government regarding humanitarian support for these students.
