The Canadian government says it’s sending an additional $50 million to support humanitarian relief efforts in the Gaza Strip and neighbouring areas, as the conflict continues between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group that controls Gaza.

Fighting broke out after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing civilians in airstrikes and on the ground and taking more than 200 hostages into Gaza.
