Allow Palestinian families to seek refuge in the UK.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Create a streamlined and expedited process for Palestinian families who wish to seek refuge in the UK. Provide financial and logistical support for the resettlement and integration of Palestinian families including access to housing, healthcare, education and employment opportunities.
Palestinians are currently being subjected to prolonged conflict, lack of basic human rights, limited access to clean water and health system. The ongoing war further exacerbates the suffering of innocent Palestinians leaving them vulnerable to displacement and destitution.
