Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - The Canadian government on Thursday said it is helping Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon meet the needs of Syrian refugees who have fled to neighboring countries as part of its Middle East engagement strategy.

A statement issued by the ministers of immigration and international development said: "We are all capable of showing empathy toward those seeking refuge. The overwhelming generosity with which Canadians have recently welcomed more than 40,000 Syrian refugees is an example of how, in the face of rising xenophobia and hardening borders, Canada always chooses peace, compassion, protection of human rights and inclusion.

"We must uphold human dignity at a time when internal conflicts are proliferating and humanitarian principles, international laws and human rights are increasingly violated", added the statement.
