Step Up the Pressure: UK Must Grant Visas and Defer Biometrics for Palestinian Students and Families Under Siege
Britain is enforcing a “biometric blockade” against Palestinians in Gaza. Families are still being told to “use existing routes” to the UK and apply for biometrics — routes that are sealed off by design. Every week wasted on paperwork is costing lives.

Urge the UK Home Secretary to Grant Student Visa and Defer Biometrics for Palestinian Students and Families n Gaza
We are urgently calling on the Home Secretary to automatically defer biometric visa requirements for Palestinian medics with university offers in the UK and issue decisions before September 2025, when their courses begin. The same deferral must be granted to the dependents of Palestinians already in the UK, just as was done for Ukrainian refugees, who were allowed to submit their biometrics after arrival. We demand that the UK immediately lift this barrier and issue swift decisions for Palestinians trying to leave Gaza, as other European countries have already done.

Join the Campaign to Call on the UK government to Set Up a Gaza Family Scheme
We’ve done this before — and we can do it again. When war broke out in Ukraine, it was people like you — working alongside charities like ours — who helped turn public outrage into political action. Together, we pushed the British government to open safe routes, waive visa requirements, and create the Homes for Ukraine scheme. Now, the door is slightly ajar again — and we must push hard to open it fully for families in Gaza.
