US Halts Gaza Medical Visas as Security Review Underway
The State Department paused Gaza visitor visas amid security concerns after issuing more than 3,800 medical visas this year, impacting critical medical evacuations for injured children.
- On Saturday, the U.S. State Department announced a suspension of visitor visa issuance for people from Gaza as it undertakes a comprehensive review of the procedures related to recently granted temporary medical and humanitarian visas.
- This action followed concerns raised by evidence and congressional inquiries about some organizations facilitating visas that have links to groups like Hamas.
- HEAL Palestine, an Ohio-based nonprofit, coordinated the evacuation of 148 Gazans, including 63 children wounded in the war, for medical care in the U.S., with some children suffering limb loss and severe malnutrition.
- Far-Right activist Laura Loomer alleged without evidence that some Palestinians granted medical visas to enter the U.S. are connected to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and she took credit for influencing the subsequent suspension of these visas.
- The visa suspension risks disrupting urgent medical treatment for injured Gazan children in the U.S., highlighting tensions between national security concerns and humanitarian needs amid the ongoing Gaza conflict.
