Countries, like France and Belgium have successfully evacuated refugees from Gaza.
Meanwhile, Gazan Canadians have loved ones trapped in Gaza, living in fear, as they face starvation, genocide, and war. But Canada is subjecting them to impossible standards.
People trapped in the open air prison that Israel’s occupying forces have turned Gaza into are expected to travel out of Gaza for biometric tests in Egypt that they cannot travel to. Every delay puts their lives at risk.
Canada and Ontario welcomed hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fleeing war with waived fees, expedited processing, and compassion.
It was the right thing to do. Gazan families deserve the same support. The current process is racist, inhumane, and inadequate.
