Canada to Airdrop Humanitarian Aid into Gaza

The Canadian government collaborates with international partners to provide urgently needed supplies amid a worsening humanitarian crisis.

Canada will begin airdropping humanitarian aid into Gaza within the next week, in coordination with allies including Israel, Egypt, Jordan, France, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States.
The decision follows months of violence in the region, initiated by a Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, which has led to significant casualties and a humanitarian crisis.
Humanitarian groups have raised alarms over the dire situation in Gaza, where the population faces shortages of food, medicine, and basic supplies.
Canada has committed $100 million Canadian ($74 million) toward aid for Gaza since the conflict began, including a recent $40 million Canadian ($30 million) allocation in January.
The World Food Programme recently suspended aid shipments into northern Gaza, citing 'complete chaos and violence due to the collapse of civil order' and the risk of starvation.
