英国移民上诉法庭法官菲奥娜·林德斯利推翻了内政部阻止加沙母亲和儿童与在英国获难民身份家人团聚的决定，裁定内政部的做法违法。1此案涉及两个加沙家庭，共有五名七岁以下的儿童。1法官在判词中指出，"这些孩子的利益应该是首要考虑，他们不应该在没有父亲、在战争区域内害怕、营养不良和患有贫困疾病的情况下分离"。1
内政部此前以加沙签证申请中心自2023年10月关闭、无法进行生物识别检查为由，拒绝了相关申请。1这一政策阻止了约250至300名加沙居民与获难民身份的英国家人团聚。1此外，英国难民家庭团聚计划自2025年9月暂停，约20,000人被拒绝团聚。1
内政部发言人表示将对该判决提起上诉，声称生物识别是英国移民系统的核心部分。1
A British immigration appeals court has ruled that the Home Office unlawfully prevented mothers and children from Gaza from reuniting with family members who have been granted refugee status in the United Kingdom 1. Immigration Judge Fiona Lindsley determined that the Home Office violated the law by applying its policy in circumstances where the Gaza visa application center has remained closed since October 2023, preventing biometric checks from being conducted 1.
The case involves two families with a combined five children under the age of seven 1. The judge stated in her ruling that "it would be best if the interests of these children should be a primary consideration, and they should not be separated from their father, living in fear within a war zone, malnourished and suffering from poverty-related diseases" 1. Approximately 250 to 300 Palestinians remain stranded in Gaza hoping to join relatives in Britain as part of family reunion arrangements 1. The Home Office has announced it will appeal the court's decision, arguing that biometric identification is central to the UK immigration system 1.
The ruling comes as the refugee family reunion scheme was suspended from September 2025, with an estimated 20,000 people denied family reunion visas 1.
