Yusra Alshanti, 25, is 'heavily pregnant and has already missed two scans', her father says.
A pregnant British woman is 'trapped' in Cairo, her family says, after a 'disaster' in the UK government's response to some refugees arriving from Gaza. Yusra Alshanti, 25, from Manchester, crossed into Egypt on Friday via the border point at Rafah. Six months pregnant, she was accompanied by her two young daughters, who also have British passports, and her Palestinian husband Ibrahim Taha.
' After further inquiries, the couple were told that to apply for a visa would cost almost £2,000 and there was no guidance on how long the process would take. 'My daughter says she won't leave her husband behind, and she'd rather they stayed in Gaza than be faced with this,' Mr Alshanti said. 'Unless he gets a UK visa, Ibrahim will soon be illegally staying in Egypt.' He added: 'They are trapped in the middle.
