The U.S. State Department has temporarily halted all medical-humanitarian visas for Gazans to review the process. This follows claims by far-right activist Laura Loomer alleging misuse of the program. The decision has drawn criticism from groups like CAIR, who argue it jeopardizes the lives of already vulnerable children needing medical care in the U.S. The move comes amidst a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with tens of thousands killed and widespread food shortages.
