Anand counting on Israel to allow Ottawa's trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza
Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand speaks to reporters in The Hague, Netherlands on Tuesday, June 24, 2025. OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says Ottawa has trucks of aid ready to reach desperate Palestinians in Gaza, and is counting on Israel to allow them through. Anand says Jordan, which borders Israel and the West Bank, has allowed Canada to pre-position aid, until Israel allows it to enter the Gaza Strip. She says she spoke with her Israeli counterpart Friday 'to seek assurances that trucks carrying Canadian aid would be allowed to enter Gaza.' Please see my statement on the announcement of temporary humanitarian corridors in Gaza: — Anita Anand (@AnitaAnandMP) July 27, 2025 Since then, Israel has said it would allow for some humanitarian corridors to be established, so that United Nations groups can deliver aid, as well as possible airdrops. The decision came after months of experts warning that Israel's tight restrictions on aid risk creating a famine, and after hundreds of Palestinians have been killed while trying to seek food at sites established by Israel. Israel has downplayed reports by numerous humanitarian groups operating on the ground of starvation deaths, and claims the UN has failed to distribute aid, though UN agencies say Israel still isn't allowing in enough food and fuel. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 27, 2025. Dylan Robertson, The Canadian Press
