The German Interior Ministry called for a cautious approach\u00a0to allow cities to host particularly vulnerable or traumatized children from Gaza and Israel.<\/p>\n
The cities of D\u00fcsseldorf and\u00a0Hanover announced earlier in the week plans to do so, with the German Interior Ministry saying the feasibility of initiatives depends on several factors.<\/p>\n
“The feasibility of such initiatives depends significantly on the\u00a0security situation, the possibility of departure, and other factors,”\u00a0a spokesman told\u00a0dpa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The main focus is on expanding medical assistance on-site and in\u00a0nearby regions,” he added, saying they were reviewing the situation.<\/p>\n
D\u00fcsseldorf and Hanover say they are open to receiving most vulnerable children<\/p>\n
Hanover announced on Thursday that it would receive up to 20\u00a0children, with the possibility of expanding the initiative. Mayor\u00a0Belit Onay said other cities also expressed similar interest.<\/p>\n
D\u00fcsseldorf’s\u00a0plans, announced on Friday, are still in development. Officials in the western German city said they\u00a0would begin examining practical options in the coming week.<\/p>\n
D\u00fcsseldorf’s mayor, Stephan Keller, has expressed support for\u00a0Hanover’s decision and said his city sought to replicate what he\u00a0called a “strong and deeply humane gesture.”<\/p>\n
“The feasibility of such initiatives depends significantly on the\u00a0security situation, the possibility of departure, and other factors,”\u00a0a spokesman told\u00a0dpa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The main focus is on expanding medical assistance on-site and in\u00a0nearby regions,” he added, saying they were reviewing the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"08\/03\/2025August 3, 2025Germany says reviewing plans to allow cities to accept vulnerable children from Gaza and Israel Thousands…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56338,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[28,101],"class_list":["post-56337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-economy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
