Twenty-one Ukrainian children suffering from cancer have arrived in the UK to receive life-saving care - as Britons are being urged to open their homes to people fleeing the war.
The children and their immediate family members arrived from Poland on Sunday evening and will be assessed before they receive treatment at an appropriate NHS hospital. Announcing their arrival, Health Secretary Sajid Javid said:"I am proud that the UK is offering lifesaving medical care to these Ukrainian children, who have been forced out of their home country by the Russian invasion while undergoing medical treatment."will now ensure they get life-saving care in safety.
People keen to offer refugees shelter in the UK will be able to register their interest in sponsoring Ukrainians through the government's new humanitarian scheme from today.Britons taking part in the"Homes for Ukraine" scheme will receive a £350-a-month"thank you" from the government.
We always like to highlight individuals who have been air-lifted for life-saving treatment. The same has happened in other conflicts. Never mind keeping as many others out as possible!

No. Holy crap,no. Stop using the word scheme. It's a plan. Scheme: the first thief tells the second thief, we'll rob gas stations all the way to the state line. Plan : We have 3 programs designed to help refugees,one of them is to arrange hospital care. PLAN.
