Advocates are seeking explanation from the federal government as to why several visas for people fleeing Gaza have been cancelled. In one case, a woman was about to board a plane to Australia when she received the notice.
PARA co-founder Rasha Abbas says a number of people who were issued Australian visas, underwent security checks, and managed to get out of Gaza through the Rafah Crossing into Egypt and the boarded flights to Australia in recent days, but have had their visas cancelled. Ms Abbas says PARA was instructed to apply for this type of visa, and they were valid until the people began the final transit to Australia.
