Canada to quintuple the number of visas granted to Palestinians

Following the brutal killing of women and children by the Israeli army in the Rafah refugee camp, Canadian Immigration Minister Mark Miller announced that Canada would increase the number of visas for residents of the Gaza Strip by five times, reports Al Jazeera.

In the near future, 5,000 visas will be issued to relatives of Palestinians living in Canada. The visa program started in December, but now plans to expand it. "We are deeply concerned about the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.

Many are concerned about their loved ones and are interested in the help we can provide. Canada will compile a list of the names of people we are willing to accept and provide it to local authorities to ensure they can cross the border safely.

Israel and Egypt are important partners in these humanitarian efforts to help reunite Palestinians in Canada with their families,” said Miller.

We remind you that after Israel gained control of the Rafah border crossing on the border with Egypt, no one can leave the Gaza Strip without its permission.
