A SICK Palestinian gran has won permission to come to Britain for medical treatment — despite fears it could undermine immigration controls.
The 67-yar-old has a daughter, 50, living in Britain.
She argued successfully at an immigration tribunal last month they had a right to family life under a European Human Rights rule.
But in court documents seen by The Sun on Sunday, the Home Office warned it could also lead to a “proliferation” of similar applications.
The woman, who suffers from spinal stenosis, is financially supported by her daughter.
She lives in war-torn Gaza City and was deemed vulnerable by the tribunal as she suffers from PTSD and depression.
The treatment is expected to cost about £20,000 at a private hospital in Windsor, Berks, and the woman will return to Gaza after it is completed.
Upper Tribunal Judge Rebecca Owens allowed her appeal for a visitor visa.
- POLICE yesterday held 42 people at a Central London protest against Palestine Action being designated a proscribed terror group.
