US EditionDozens of MPs Call on Starmer to 'Urgently' Establish Ukraine-Style Visa for Gazans: Report
UNITED KINGDOM, JUN 30 – A cross-party group of 67 MPs urges Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to introduce a Gaza Family Scheme, citing over 56,000 Palestinian deaths and the UK's duty to protect vulnerable families.
- On Monday, 67 MPs and Lords urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to establish a 'Gaza Family Scheme' to reunite Palestinians with UK relatives amid ongoing Gaza crisis.
- The letter highlights Israel's breakdown of the ceasefire, weaponising starvation, and intensifying bombardments, causing severe suffering to Palestinians in Gaza.
- Analysis shows over 56,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, with visa applications hindered by the destruction of Gaza’s visa center and blockade of Rafah crossing.
- Some Gazans in Egypt remain stuck in limbo due to no safe exit, and the proposed visa scheme aims to reunite families who may never see each other again.
- Building on a February judicial ruling, the UK may extend a visa scheme for Gaza families based on the Ukraine model, allowing stays up to three years under Article 8 of the ECHR.
