We are deeply concerned by reports of an Israeli military operation in Rafah. It would have devastating impact, putting the lives of Palestinians and foreign nationals,including 🇨🇦s, seeking refuge in grave danger and making the vital delivery of humanitarian aid dangerous. 1/2
UNRWA lifesaving assistance is about to end following countries decisions to cut their funding to the Agency. Our humanitarian operation, on which 2 million people depend as a lifeline in Gaza, is collapsing. I am shocked such decisions are taken based on alleged behavior of a few individuals and as the war continues, needs are deepening & famine looms. Palestinians in Gaza did not need this additional collective punishment. This stains all of us. Read my statement: unrwa.org/newsroom/offic…
Canada is committed to providing critical and immediate assistance to the Palestinian civilians affected by the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Canada, EU, Norway, US, Australia etc are all posturing at #COP28 tonight, trying to come away as climate leaders Do not be fooled. It is not leadership if they do not agree to move fastest & pay their fair share for transition. Share this call from @LDCChairUNFCCC far and wide!
Canada will always defend human rights – because we believe all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. This #HumanRightsDay, we reaffirm that belief, and we recommit to building a world where human rights are protected and respected. pm.gc.ca/en/news/statem…
"The police evicted us. We don't know where to go. Where are we supposed to take our children?" Ogiek people in Kenya are being evicted NOW - DESPITE winning court cases against the gov, who are doing this in the name of "conservation."
Canada just ABSTAINED on an emergency resolution at the UN General Assembly calling for an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce leading to a cessation of hostilities” in Gaza. It passed with 120 votes in favour.
