Canada’s foreign minister has reiterated a call for a humanitarian pause in Gaza and said there is little time left to get Canadians and hostages out while delivering badly needed aid, Reuters reports.
“Four hundred Canadians are trapped in Gaza, they are living in fear and despair… And that is why we need humanitarian pauses, a humanitarian truce, in Gaza,” Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said in the text of a speech to the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto.
“Time is running out. We need an agreement from all parties to get foreign nationals out, including Canadians. To release all hostages. And to allow food, fuel and water into Gaza,” she said.
