REPATRIATE STRANDED UK & EUROPEAN CITIZENS BACK HOME FROM MOROCCO!!!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Repatriate the many stranded UK & European citizens currently abandoned in Morocco. Provide rescue flights back to the Uk & Europe. Offer the many stranded people advice & support. Liaise with the Moroccan government to repatriate foreign tourists back home!
My Elderly parents are stranded in Morocco, with no support from the Uk & French Embassy. Their insurance company refuses to cover costs during this pandemic. Funds are running low, stress levels are running high, with a great risk of ongoing health complications! Abandoned in unsuitable, expensive accommodation with no transport and great difficulties to get basic supplies. Please sign this petition and help to get my parents and many other stranded people back home during this terrible time.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The UK Government is not responsible for the repatriation of citizens of other countries. This would be a matter for their own governments.

We have published a petition calling on the Government to Repatriate all UK residents stranded abroad, which you might like to sign: Repatriate all UK residents stranded abroad
