8 March 2024 20:47 GMT
Canada is set to officially reinstate its funding to the UN Palestinian refugee agency (Unrwa), announced International Aid Minister Ahmed Hussen in a Friday statement, though a specific timeline was not provided.
"Canada will be lifting its temporary pause on funding to [Unrwa]," Hussen said in a statement. "Unrwa plays a vital role in Gaza."
On 26 January, Canada declared a temporary halt to its contributions, following accusations from Israel that certain staff members of the agency had participated in the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October.
