Gaza Students’ Dreams on Hold | Cork News
Description
A major €1.2 million philanthropic gift for Gaza students to study at UCD is on hold as visa refusals mount, leaving hopeful students—many already prepared to travel—facing uncertainty. The UCD Foundation urges the donor to wait until visa policies stabilize for the 2026-2027 academic year, citing mounting rejections for Palestinian applicants. With 51 visas denied versus 22 approved by July 29, student unions are sounding the alarm, calling for government intervention and arguing that rigid procedures ignore the realities of life in a warzone.
