💨 Abstract

The U.S. State Department has halted visitor visas for individuals from Gaza pending a review. This decision follows conservative activist Laura Loomer's social media posts questioning how children from Gaza obtained visas for medical treatment. The review comes after concerns raised by congressional offices linking some organizations involved in securing these visas to terrorist groups like Hamas. HEAL Palestine, the organization aiding these children, asserts it is a humanitarian effort for medical treatment, not resettlement.
