Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says the federal government is still working to get Canadians out of the besieged Gaza Strip as the Palestinian territory braces for an expected ground invasion by Israel.
Joly also announced a plan to begin evacuating Canadians from the West Bank territory by bus as early as next week.
The minister said the Israeli government has authorized Canadians' departure from the territory on the Mediterranean Sea, but that more work needs to be done to secure their passage. About 160 Canadians and their relatives are still in Gaza, she said.
