United Kingdom Headlines News

OVER the past six months, the situation in Gaza has been catastrophic. More than 33,000 Palestinian lives have been lost.

Millions are suffering from Israeli bombardment, incursions and severe lack of access to essential supplies and services like food and healthcare. This is why the UK Government must urgently introduce a Gaza Family Scheme that would protect Palestinian lives and the right to family unity.We believe that Palestinians have the right to live in their homeland in freedom and dignity.

There is no need to go back to the drawing board – the UK Government has rolled out successful visa schemes in the recent past to protect families, such as the Ukraine Family Scheme that was swiftly introduced within days of Russia’s invasion. An estimated 1.5 million Gazans, the majority of whom have experienced multiple displacements over the past six months, are currently trapped in this area, previously claimed to be a “safe zone” for civilians.

The UK has a historical and current moral responsibility towards the Palestinian people. At the very least, it must now urgently create a Gaza Family Scheme to enable those trapped amidst unimaginable horrors to reunite with their loved ones. Anything less would be a betrayal of our shared humanity and a failure to uphold the principles of justice and compassion.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
