Canada has imitated the United States and announced that it will temporarily suspend the payment of funds to UNRWA, the UN agency that supports Palestinian refugees, after the scandal of the alleged participation of some of its staff in the Hamas attack last 7 in Israel.
We read it in the Canadian and international media, including CBC, which quote the Canadian Minister for International Development, Ahmed Hussen.
The Ottawa government has ordered a "temporary pause" in providing "additional funds" to UNRWA, Hussen said, adding that Canada will not stop helping Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
