Petition UK humanitarian visa for people displaced by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica

Jamaica’s recent devastation from Hurricane Melissa has left thousands homeless and in urgent need of temporary refuge. As a Commonwealth partner with Caribbean ties, the UK should act with compassion by allowing temporary entry for those displaced by disaster and unable to return home safely.

More details

We want the UK Government to create a humanitarian visa for people displaced by Hurricane Melissa so that Parliament provides a legal, safe route for disaster survivors, shows leadership on climate-related displacement, and upholds the UK’s Commonwealth values of solidarity and compassion.
