Target: US State Department, Secretary Marco Rubio, President Donald Trump
Goal: We call on the US State Department to immediately reinstate visitor and humanitarian visas for Gazans in need of medical care, and to reject policy decisions based on misinformation and xenophobia.
The United States has long been a beacon of hope and compassion for those in need. Recently, the US government suspended all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza, following inflammatory and baseless claims by a far-right influencer. This action directly impacts critically wounded children and their families who were brought to the US by the charity HEAL Palestine for life-saving treatment.
These individuals are not a threat—they are victims of violence and conflict, deserving of care and dignity. Suspending their visas not only endangers their lives but also sets a dangerous precedent of allowing hate and conspiracy theories to dictate immigration and humanitarian policy.
We urge the US government to reverse this suspension, uphold its humanitarian commitments, and ensure that decisions are made based on facts and compassion, not fearmongering and discrimination.
