answer text <p>Tribunals are administered independently of the Department and therefore appeals to the Upper Tribunal are a matter for the appellant and His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS). The appellant should follow guidance from the First-tier Tribunal (FTT) on the process for appealing to the Upper Tribunal. There is also helpful information on gov.uk: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/appeal-benefit-decision/unhappy-tribunals-decision" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/appeal-benefit-decision/unhappy-tribunals-decision</a>.

answer text <p>During his first visit to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories on 14-15 July, the Foreign Secretary pressed Israeli leaders to deliver on their promise to &quot;flood&quot; Gaza with aid. We are concerned at reports of humanitarian agencies being unable to do their jobs because of visa restrictions.
