Trump Blocks Gaza Medical Visas Following Loomer Criticism
The Trump administration halted all visitor visas from Gaza, including those for humanitarian and medical aid, after far-right provocateur Laura Loomer criticized the visas granted to several Palestinian children. The State Department announced it would review the visa process, prompting Loomer to claim credit for the policy change. These children, injured in attacks, were brought to the U.S. for medical care with the assistance of the nonprofit HEAL Palestine. This decision has been met with criticism, including accusations of prejudice and cruelty from various sources.
