Canada says it will provide C$10 million in aid to Lebanese civilians

Canada is deeply concerned by the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, and will provide C$10 million ($7.4 million) for humanitarian assistance to civilians in Lebanon, the Canadian foreign ministry said on Saturday.

"Canada urges all parties involved in the conflict to protect civilians, including humanitarian workers, from harm," the foreign ministry said in a statement in which it reiterated a call for a 21-day ceasefire across the Lebanon-Israel border.
