The Canadian government said on Wednesday that Israeli military actions against civilians and aid workers in Gaza are unacceptable, and called for the immediate resumption of United Nations-led aid delivery in the Strip.

In a post on X, Canada’s Foreign Ministry stated: “Israeli military operations against WHO staff and facilities, World Food Programme aid convoys, & the ongoing killing of Palestinians seeking urgently needed food and water are unacceptable,”    

The ministry added, “Hunger in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels … Canada calls for the immediate resumption at scale of UN-led aid.”
