While well-intentioned, air drops are not an adequate response to the humanitarian crisis in #Gaza, where people are on the brink of famine. What is needed is to open all broder crossings into Gaza so aid truck can get in, and keep up the pressure for #CeasefireNOW.

More than 200 aid workers have been killed while delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, and this latest news from World Central Kitchen is devastating. Humanitarian aid cannot be safely delivered without an immediate #ceasfire. The killings must stop now #NotATarget cbc.ca/news/world/gaz…

This is an important step - thank you Mélanie Joly. We in Canada must put more pressure to stop settler violence & impunity and protect Palestinian land. canada.ca/en/global-affa…

Thank you Minister! It is always such a pleasure to work with you - from the early days of putting a #feminist approach at the heart of Canada's aid agenda, to discussing how best to use progressive #tax policies to tackle growing inequality.
