OTTAWA, Ontario — Canada announces C$40 million ($29.8 million) in new funding to provide food, water, and other humanitarian assistance to Gaza.

The funds will be allocated to international agencies including the World Food Program, UNICEF, and the World Health Organization, Global Affairs Canada says in a statement.

The announcement comes days after Canada and several other countries paused funding to the UN refugee agency for Palestinians UNRWA following allegations by Israel that some of its staff were involved in the October 7 Hamas attacks.
