Canada announced a new $100 million aid package for the Palestinian territories on Wednesday, bringing the country's total contribution to $500 million, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The announcement follows an earlier $100 million package disclosed on Saturday, which was channeled through the UN, the Red Cross, and international relief organizations for Gaza and Judea and Samaria. The new funding continues Ottawa's trajectory of expanding humanitarian and development assistance to Palestinians.
As The Zioneer reported on June 13, Canada's previous $100 million round brought its total at that time to $400 million. The latest injection raises that figure to half a billion dollars.
It remains unclear which specific agencies or programs will receive the new funds, or whether they are earmarked for humanitarian relief, development projects, or both.
