USA no longer accept sick people from Gaza

A day after the influential ultra rights influencer Laura Loomer had spoken in angry posts on the subject, the US government initially no longer lets people from the Gaza Strip for medical treatment to the United States. The Foreign Ministry in Washington announced on Saturday in online service X that the exhibition of “medical-humanitarian” visas to people from the Palestinian area would be suspended. A “complete and thorough review” of the procedures should now take place, according to which this type of entry permits have so far been granted.

The ministry did not specifically comment on how many such “medical-humanitarian” visas had recently been exhibited to people from the Gaza Strip. However, it announced that it was a “small number”.

The US Aid Organization Heal Palestine organized the trips of people from the Palestinian area for medical treatment in the United States. The organization had recently announced that they had organized the relocation of eleven seriously injured children from the Gaza Strip as well as the people who care and siblings. It was “the largest individual evacuation” of injured children from the Gaza Strip to the USA.

The ultra -right influencer and conspiracy theorist Loomer, who is said to have a great influence on President Donald Trump, then criticized the exhibition of the visas for people from the Gaza strip on Friday as “truly unacceptable”. Anyone who has issued the visa in the US State Department must be “fired”.

Loomer led into the field, in this way people came into the country who, among other things, support the radical Islamic Hamas. “Our country is flooded with jihadists.” She reported to have spoken to the chairman of the chairman of the secret service shot in the US Senate, the Republican Tom Cotton.

Loomer has no government office, but it seems to be heard with President Trump and his government. The influencer is said to be behind the dismissal of several senior government officials, whom she accused lack of loyalty to Trump.

The Trump Government called on Saturday to undo the “dangerous and inhumane decision” to stop the entry for medical care on Saturday. “Medical evacuations are a leash for the children of the Gaza Strip, which would otherwise threaten unimaginable suffering or death in view of the collapse of the medical infrastructure in the Gaza Strip,” said the organization.

After 22 months of war between Israel and Hamas, there is a drastic humanitarian emergency, with a lack of food and medication. The war was triggered by the major attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, in which, according to Israeli information, more than 1200 people killed and 251 people were dragged into the Gaza strip as hostages.

Since then, Israel has been massively militarily in the Gaza Strip. According to the Hamas authorities, which cannot be checked independently, more than 61,700 people have so far been killed.
