What the petition asks
I want the UK Government to introduce and fund a free visa or evacuation route for refugees from the conflict in Gaza, including families, so that they can escape the violence and live in safety. I believe that thousands of lives could depend on action like this.
This petition is inspired by a family I know who are among those currently living in fear in Gaza, without any safe route out — a situation shared by many other vulnerable civilians.
I want to help peaceful civilians living in fear in Gaza, with no medical emergency, no relatives abroad, and no safe and legal way out. I want the Government to fund a visa or evacuation scheme to support these people, including families, on compassionate grounds.
We ask the Government to make this possible now as we fear more innocent lives will be lost.
