Dozens of MPs Call on Starmer to 'Urgently' Establish Ukraine-Style Visa for Gazans: Report

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.
