OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says newly agreed-upon"humanitarian pauses" to temporarily end fighting between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip must last long enough for people to leave the area and for aid to arrive.
A key crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt was reported closed earlier today as hundreds of people connected to Canada awaited news of when — and whether — they would be able to escape the besieged Palestinian territory. A daily list of those allowed to cross that had been published in recent days by the General Authority for Crossings and Borders in Gaza was not available Thursday morning.
Early Thursday morning, some Canadian evacuees arrived at Toronto Pearson International Airport after fleeing through Rafah and boarding a 12-hour flight to Canada from Cairo. The Health Ministry in Gaza, which has been governed by Hamas since 2007, has put the Palestinian death toll above 10,500 people, and it reports that more than 4,000 of them were children. Canada has listed Hamas as a terrorist organization since 2002.
