A Palestinian student offered a full scholarship to an Irish university remains unable to leave Gaza due to ongoing border restrictions, We Are Not Numbers reported. Despite securing admission and financial support for higher education abroad, the student faces barriers to departure that prevent pursuit of the academic opportunity.
