Canada announced an additional $40 million in aid to Gaza on Jan. 30, after suspending its support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in response to allegations that some UNRWA staff members participated in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

The new funding will go to other organizations working in Gaza.
