Dozens of Palestinian students with places in Spanish institutions are currently unable to leave Gaza due to the Israeli blockade and lack of evacuations. These students face significant challenges in their attempts to travel. The process of obtaining student visas is a major obstacle, with critics describing it as confusing and complex.

Groups such as Gaza40+ and the Red Universitaria por Palestina have spoken out about the difficulties faced by these students, highlighting the need for a more transparent and straightforward visa application process. Further information on this situation is available from El País América.
