Australian authorities have denied entry to the children of a Palestinian who was killed in the Gaza Strip, whose brother lives in Australia, Anadolu reports according to Australian media.
Zuhair El Henday, who has lived in New South Wales (NSW) for several years, said he tried his best but failed to secure visas for his remaining family in Gaza.
“I have proven that I have been a true citizen and I contribute to this country, contribute to the community. So, why don’t I have the right to get my family here to make them safe?” said El Henday, SBS News reported.
His sister, Lubna, her husband, two sons and son-in-law were killed in Israeli airstrike on their home in Gaza City last November while three of El Henday’s nieces survived the strike.
