Target: U.S. Department of State, Secretary Antony Blinken
Goal: We call on the U.S. State Department to immediately reinstate visitor visas for Gazans, particularly for those requiring urgent medical care unavailable in Gaza, and to ensure that humanitarian organizations can continue their vital work without political
The U.S. State Department has abruptly halted all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza, including children and civilians in desperate need of medical attention. This decision, apparently influenced by political pressure and misinformation, directly endangers lives and violates the principles of compassion and human rights that the United States has long claimed to uphold.
Organizations like HEAL Palestine have been instrumental in providing critical medical care to Gazans, evacuating children for surgeries, prosthetics, and rehabilitation not available in their war-torn homeland. Blocking access to the U.S. for these humanitarian purposes is unconscionable. These are not security threats—they are victims of violence, many of them children, seeking only the chance to heal.
We urge the State Department to reverse this policy, reaffirm its commitment to humanitarian values, and resist the influence of those who would use fear and xenophobia to dictate immigration policy. Lives are at stake. The United States must not turn its back on the most vulnerable.
Key Demands
- Immediately reinstate visitor visas for Gazans, especially those seeking medical care unavailable in Gaza.
- Ensure that humanitarian organizations can facilitate medical evacuations and treatment for Palestinian civilians without political interference.
- Publicly reaffirm the United States’ commitment to humanitarian principles and the protection of civilians in conflict zones.
- Establish transparent guidelines for humanitarian visa issuance, prioritizing urgent medical cases and family reunification.
