Canada's Trudeau says killing of women, children in Lebanon is 'extraordinarily concerning'

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters that the killing of women and children in Lebanon was "extraordinarily concerning" and called on Israel and Hezbollah to de-escalate.

"The violence needs to stop. The women, the children killed in Lebanon is extraordinarily concerning," Trudeau said while in New York for the UN General Assembly.

Israeli air strikes have killed more than 50 children, as the death toll from the strikes has reached more than 550 people in total.
