Canada is sending another $40 million in aid to organizations that are helping Palestinians in Gaza after pausing funding to the UN’s relief agency in the region.
The funding will go to groups including the World Food Program, UNICEF, the World Health Organization and the International Committee of the Red Cross, Ahmed Hussen, Minister of International Development, announced Tuesday.
Canada suspended funding to UNRWA, the UN agency that supports Palestinians in Gaza, in response to allegations that its staff played a role in the Hamas attack in Israel on Oct. 7.
