Canada can help establish an international protective force in Gaza
The killing of aid workers in Gaza highlights the need to protect the supply and distribution of humanitarian assistance.

Rétablissement du financement de l'UNRWA et création d'une mission de protection pour faire face à la crise humanitaire à Gaza
Pour faire face à la grave crise humanitaire à laquelle sont confrontées plus de 2 millions de personnes déplacées à Gaza, le WRMC demande que le financement de l'Office de secours et de travaux des Nations unies (UNRWA) soit immédiatement rétabli. Le Conseil demande également la création d'une mission de protection des travailleurs humanitaires, accompagnée d'un nouveau groupe de contact pour l'aide humanitaire et la reconstruction à Gaza.
