Muslim group calls on Ottawa to lift cap on program allowing Palestinians to flee to Canada

The National Council of Canadian Muslims is calling on the federal government to remove a cap on the number of Palestinians who can seek refuge with their Canadian extended family members from the violence in the Gaza Strip.

The special extended family program for people in Gaza is set to launch next week. Palestinian Canadians pleaded for months for help from the federal government to rescue their loved ones from the Israel-Hamas war.
