September 28, 2024 – Ottawa, Ontario – Global Affairs Canada
Canada is extremely concerned about the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, a terrorist organization, in Lebanon, which has caused a rapid increase in humanitarian needs. More than 90,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon since the beginning of September.
Today, the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of International Development, announced that Canada will provide $10 million in humanitarian assistance to address the urgent needs of the civilian population in Lebanon. This funding will provide food, water, emergency medical assistance (including sexual and reproductive health services), protection services and other life-saving assistance.
This funding is in addition to the US$10 million already allocated to this crisis by the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund, to which Canada is a major donor.
Together with our partners, we call for an immediate 21-day ceasefire on the Israeli-Lebanese border to allow diplomacy to work towards a diplomatic settlement consistent with UN Security Council Resolution 1701, and towards the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2735 regarding a ceasefire in Gaza.
Canada urges all parties to protect the civilian population from violence, including humanitarian workers, in accordance with international humanitarian law.
Canada continues to monitor the situation and remains in close communication with its humanitarian partners to assess and respond to evolving needs.
