Thank you Min. Sarai for meeting with Cdn partners carrying out life-saving projects around the world. We look forward to continuing our work together to help children & families caught in humanitarian crises. #Canadian values in action. @humcoalition together.ca
Insightful meeting with @humcoalition today to discuss their work in Gaza, Sudan, and beyond. Their coordinated efforts deliver life-saving aid and engage Canadians in times of crisis. Canada remains committed to working together to help those who need it most.

“Reconciliation will never be achieved so long as one side sees it as a recognition of rights, and the other side sees it as an act of benevolence.” We are deeply saddened by the passing of Justice Murray Sinclair, a leader whose legacy of courage and wisdom profoundly shaped the journey of truth and reconciliation in the land currently known as Canada. As Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he shed light on the painful truths of our shared history and inspired countless paths forward, including our own work at the National Reconciliation Program. His vision and dedication continue to guide us in building a future rooted in understanding, respect, and healing. Today, we honor his life, his contributions, and his unwavering commitment to justice. Our thoughts are with his family, loved ones, and all who were touched by his work. ©Photo/nctr.ca

Grateful for opportunity for @humcoalition board members to meet with Minister @HonAhmedHussen to discuss the pressing humanitarian challenges in a number of countries at the moment. Working together to save more lives.
From Gaza to Sudan, Canada is committed to delivering impactful aid, reaching crisis zones where it’s needed most. Had an insightful discussion with @humcoalition on the significant challenges Canadian organizations face and their tireless efforts that save lives every day.

"Today Gaza, tomorrow elsewhere." A powerful call (in French) by @humcoalition members @OxfamQuebec & @MdMCanada in @LP_LaPresse to uphold #IHL, not only for Gaza, but all humanity. It is now the most dangerous place on earth for civilians & aid workers responding to the crisis.

Merci JC Ouellet @CHOIRadioX pour la discussion ajd. La mort de #JacobFlickinger @WCKitchen nous rappelle le sacrifice des 200 travailleurs humanitaires tués à ce jour à Gaza. Nous exigeons un cessez-le-feu, la libération des détenus, et un accès humanitaire sûr. @humcoalition

Famine in Gaza is imminent. It’s impossible to imagine the horror of parents watching children starve. We are all human and we must find the compassion within us to move beyond politics to see an immediate ceasefire and the free flow of humanitarian aid. cbc.ca/news/world/ipc-gaza-f…

A critically important decision & right one by @CanadaDev @HonAhmedHussen. For all its challenges, UNRWA is essential for delivering aid at scale needed to prevent thousands from dying of hunger and illness in Gaza, both now and coming months. #Ceasefire is urgently needed now.

The choice between ineffective airdrops & the pressing need for open aid corridors in Gaza is clear. The int'l community must prioritize direct, safe, sufficient & dignified aid delivery. We must align our actions with our humanitarian principles. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Members of @humcoalition continue to call for #CeasefireNOW, respect for #internationalhumanitarianlaw & release of all those unjustly detained in #Gaza. The bombing Wednesday of @HI_Canada's partner offices highlights the desperate need for safe and full #humanitarian access!
🚨Humanity & Inclusion's office located in the Rimal neighborhood in #GazaCity, has been destroyed in a bombing strike. #CeasefireNOW #StopBombingCivilians Full statement here: bit.ly/47W7Gtf
