Canada warns of a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, citing famine and rising civilian deaths, and calls for immediate aid and a ceasefire.
Canada expressed deep concern over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, where civilians—including children—are dying due to restricted access to food and medical aid.
Randeep Sarai, Secretary of State for International Development, highlighted a UN-led Famine Review Committee report confirming famine in Gaza Governorate, with the threat spreading to Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis in the coming weeks.
Sarai criticised Israel for failing to meet its obligations under international law by blocking humanitarian aid and warned that intensified military actions could worsen the crisis.
"The UN and NGO humanitarian organisations have undertaken enormous efforts, and humanitarian workers are putting their lives on the line, but they continue to face preventable impediments. There is an absolute imperative to act now," Sarai highlighted.
Canada is coordinating with partners on the ground, supporting logistics, airdrops, and experienced UN and Red Cross operations.
