Ottawa working to get Canadians out of Gaza, announces plan for those in West Bank
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says the federal government is still working to get Canadians out of the besieged Gaza Strip as the Palestinian territory braces for an expected ground invasion by Israel.
Joly also announced a plan to begin evacuating Canadians from the West Bank territory by bus as early as next week.
"We're extremely concerned about the situation in Gaza," she said Saturday at a news conference from Jordan. "Gaza is one of the worst places on Earth to be right now."
