What the petition asks
We urge the UK Government to establish a temporary visa scheme, in accordance with the UK's global humanitarian principles, to grant visas to Syrian families who have been directly impacted by earthquakes and have first-degree relatives residing in the UK.
Thousands of Syrian families are without shelter or financial support due to catastrophic earthquakes. They require immediate and urgent assistance, particularly as international humanitarian aid may take several months to address the accumulating needs of those affected.
Several members of the UK-based Syrian community are willing and able to host and provide financial support to their first-degree relatives who were severely impacted by the earthquakes.
