"A British aid worker has helped to evacuate nine sick and wounded children from Gaza on a private jet.

Sally Becker, who saved hundreds of children in the Bosnian war of the 1990s, told of her “relief” when the plane landed safely in Trieste, northern Italy, on Tuesday.

The evacuation had been months in the planning, with help from her partners Gaza Kinder Relief, which facilitates evacuation for critically injured children, and Project Pure Hope, which provides medical support for child victims of the Middle East conflict.
