Ammon News - Canada will provide $25 million to Palestinian civilians affected by the recent conflict with the Israelis in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a news release.

The Canadian premier noted the funding will "go directly" to experienced organizations that will help the most vulnerable Palestinian civilians cope after the conflict.
"The recent violence in the region is alarming we have all seen the disturbing images of displaced civilians, loss of life and pain inflicted on families," Trudeau said.

Canada’s aid will include $10 million for urgent food assistance, shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene, as well as psychosocial support for children. Another $10 million will go toward humanitarian and rebuilding efforts, such as vital medical infrastructure, according to Trudeau.

Canada will also dedicate up to $5 million for peace-building initiatives between the Palestinians and Israelis, he pointed out.
