Restore Medical Humanitarian Visas for Gaza's Children in Urgent Need

Target: U.S. State Department, Secretary of State, and relevant Congressional offices
Goal: We call on the U.S. State Department and relevant government officials to immediately reinstate the medical-humanitarian visa program for children and families from Gaza, ensuring access to urgent medical care unavailable in their war-torn homeland.
Thousands of children in Gaza are suffering from severe injuries and illnesses that cannot be treated locally due to the destruction of the territory's health system. For years, humanitarian organizations like HEAL Palestine have facilitated temporary medical visas for these children to receive essential care in the United States, with the understanding that they return home after treatment.
The abrupt halt of this program, following unsubstantiated claims and political pressure, puts vulnerable lives at risk and undermines America's commitment to humanitarian values. The World Health Organization has called for increased medical evacuations, emphasizing that over 14,800 patients in Gaza still need life-saving care unavailable in the region.
This is not a refugee resettlement program—it's a critical medical lifeline. We urge the State Department to prioritize compassion and evidence-based policy, and to resume the processing of medical-humanitarian visas for Gaza's children and their families.
Key Demands
- Immediately reinstate the issuance of medical-humanitarian visas for children and families from Gaza in need of urgent medical care.
- Ensure transparent, evidence-based review processes for all humanitarian visa applications, free from political interference.
- Collaborate with reputable humanitarian organizations and international bodies, such as the World Health Organization, to facilitate safe and timely medical evacuations.
- Publicly clarify that the medical visa program is not a refugee resettlement initiative, but a temporary humanitarian measure.
- Commit to upholding the United States' obligations to international humanitarian principles and the right to health care.
