Two fathers in Britain enlist law firm to get government to follow through on evacuation promises made months ago

The British government is facing legal action over its lack of action to help evacuate families in Gaza after committing to do so months ago.

Two families have argued that the government’s failure to act is unlawful and in breach of their family’s human rights. They are among a number of separated families to which the government has failed to keep its evacuation promise, according to the law firm Leigh Day, which is representing them.
