The Canadian government said on Wednesday that Israeli military operations against civilians and aid workers in Gaza were unacceptable, and called for the immediate resumption of UN-led aid distribution in the besieged enclave, Reuters reports.

“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 Canadian foreign ministry said on X.

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