Canada Urges Action on Dire Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza

Canadian ministers warn of imminent famine and call for increased aid amid severe malnutrition and food insecurity.

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly and International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen have expressed deep concern over the humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
A report from the Famine Review Committee indicates a high likelihood of famine occurring in the northern Gaza Strip, affecting over 133,000 people with catastrophic food insecurity.
Canada emphasizes the urgent need for Israel to increase humanitarian assistance in compliance with international humanitarian law.
Humanitarian agencies face significant obstacles in delivering aid, resulting in insufficient resources reaching those in need.
