Alongside continuing to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and for the UK to stop arming Israel, we invite you to urge your MP to speak in support of the scheme and protect Palestinian families during this critical time.
The current situation in Gaza is devastating. Palestinians in the UK are deeply concerned for the safety of their families. Palestinians in the UK should be able to offer safety and shelter to their loved ones, allowing them to reunite with family members and to escape the horrors of Israel’s ongoing genocidal violence in the Gaza Strip, until it is safe to return.
The existing visa process is failing families. They face delays, exorbitant costs, and even danger while waiting for decisions. The government swiftly introduced a family visa scheme two years ago to assist Ukrainian families reaching relatives in the UK. It needs to do the same again now. A Gaza Family Scheme can offer a lifeline. It would allow families to reunite and rebuild their lives.
After emailing your MP, please take a moment to follow the Gaza Families Reunited Campaign for more actions to support these calls.
In solidarity,
Celie
