State Department suspends Palestinian medical visas

Eight Palestinian children from Gaza, Rahaf, Ibrahim, Jana, Mustafa, Nasser, Mohammed, Kenan and Ahmed, arrive at the O’Hare International Airport supported by the Palestinian Children’s Support Foundation (PCRF) for the treatment in Chicago, Illinis, USA, USA, 2024. December 2 2024.

THe said he would stop issuing visas to Palestinians from Gaza after going to humanitarian and medical treatment, including those who come to the US for humanitarian and medical treatment, after the campaign, according to the extreme right -wing political activist Laura Loomer.

“All visitors’ visas from Gaza are suspended until we do a comprehensive and detailed process and procedures used to release few temporary medical and humanitarian visas in recent days,” the US State Department said in a statement.

This solution will affect several programs that have selected dozens of critically injured children from Gaza in the last 21 months, including amputated and severe burns victims.

This message appeared a few hours after Loomer’s social media reports criticizing the Palestinian Children’s Medical Evacuation to the United States in a single post, she shared a video of a child’s amputated to the disability trolley at Seattle Airport for treatment, adding: “Trump administration needs to close this abyss.”

Loomer, who once described himself as “proud Islamaphob” and said that September 11th. He was “inner work”, submitted false statements in his duties and stated that she had sent her “evidence” to the Secretary of the State Marco Rubis. A pause was published a few hours later.

Rubio told the CBS on Sunday that the action occurred after “questions about this are asked about it from several Congress offices.” But Loomer quickly assumed credit for a pause, announcing, “It is wonderful how quickly we can get the results of Trump’s administration.”

The Palestinian Children’s Support Foundation (PCRF), a charity organizing children’s medical evacuation in the US, said the move will prevent them from giving them “rescue medical treatment” from Gaza.

“Medical evacuation are gaza children who would otherwise face unimaginable suffering or death of the collapse of medical infrastructure in Gaza,” the PCRF said in a statement. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the Gaza Health System collapsed and was “ruthless and systematic destruction of hospitals in Gaza”.

The United Nations Children’s Charity Oricef said in July that more than 17,000 children have been killed in Gaza in the last 21 months and 33,000 injured in Gaza.

Heal Palestine, another charity organization organizing evacuation and which Loomer was specially directed, said this month it has evacuated 63 injured children and 148 in the US in total to receive treatment. Earlier this month, she performed the largest known evacuation of injured children from Gaza to the United States, with 11 children and their families, most of them to treat amputations.

Heal Palestine in the social media has made it clear that the visas she uses to bring people to the United States for treatment was not for rescue supervision, unlike Loomer’s statements.

“After their treatment is completed, children and all accompanying family members return to the Middle East. It is a medical treatment program, not refugee transfer program,” Palestine heals on Saturday. The charity has added that US tax dollars do not finance the treatment of these children.

Loomer, a conspiracy theorist with a history of hate speech, has gained a major influence on the White House in the second term of President Donald Trump.

She successfully lobby to remove people from the highest roles of the government, which she believed to be unfaithful to the President, including six of the National Security Council, a senior customs and border guard officer and a food and medicine administration vaccine official.
