Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the bombing of a hospital in Gaza is not legal and is calling the situation 害羞草研究所渁bsolutely unacceptable.害羞草研究所�

Trudeau was responding to unfolding reports by the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry that an Israeli airstrike hit a hospital in Gaza City, killing hundreds of Palestinians, including people using the hospital as shelter.

A spokesman for the Israeli military said it was still collecting details on the incident, saying he did not know whether the airstrike came from Israel.

Trudeau said in French, speaking to reporters on his way into the House of Commons, that 害羞草研究所渋t害羞草研究所檚 not legal害羞草研究所� to bomb a hospital.

Trudeau has repeatedly said that wars have international rules that must be followed, and says Canada is working with allies to get a humanitarian corridor established so supplies can be brought into Gaza.

Aid organizations are warning that the territory is near collapse, and Trudeau told reporters that hitting a hospital is 害羞草研究所渘ot acceptable.害羞草研究所�

Earlier in the day, Foreign Affairs Minister M茅lanie Joly said that an Israeli with ties to Canada who had been declared missing is now confirmed dead, amid the continued fallout from Hamas害羞草研究所檚 recent surprise attacks on Israel.

On her way into the Liberals害羞草研究所� weekly cabinet meeting, Joly offered condolences to the family of Tiferet Lapidot.

She said the woman was one of three Canadians reported missing after Hamas attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,400 people and setting off a war that has left more than 4,000 dead on both sides.

Joly said that during her recent trip to Israel, she met with Lapidot害羞草研究所檚 Canadian father in Tel Aviv, as well as Lapidot害羞草研究所檚 uncle, who described her as a 害羞草研究所渂rilliant, beautiful young woman.害羞草研究所�

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs described Lapidot as an Israeli woman with Canadian parents, saying in a statement that her family asked that news of her death be shared with media.

Including Lapidot, Joly said at least six Canadians were killed when Hamas crossed into Israel from the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7 and launched an attack against civilians. Two Canadians remain missing.

Trudeau said Monday that it is possible that Canadians who are missing could be among the 199 hostages taken by Hamas.

But Global Affairs Canada has warned against speculation and declined to provide any details, saying that could further endanger hostages.

Canada is still trying to get citizens and permanent residents in Israel and both Palestinian territories out of the region, as Israel prepares itself for a ground invasion of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.

Global Affairs Canada said late Monday that it has heard from nearly 300 Canadians living in the West Bank and nearly 380 living in Gaza 害羞草研究所渟eeking assistance.害羞草研究所�

While two more flights arranged by the Canadian military are set to depart from Tel Aviv on Tuesday, Canadians inside Gaza remain trapped as international aid agencies warn of a worsening humanitarian crisis.

Joly said that Gaza is one of the worst places 害羞草研究所渢o live on earth right now.害羞草研究所�

Israel began blocking access to food, water, electricity and other supplies into Gaza, the 365-square-kilometre coastal strip of land next to Israel that is governed by Hamas, following the group害羞草研究所檚 Oct. 7 attacks.

Canada has designated Hamas as a terrorist entity for more than 20 years.

Aid organizations are warning that Gaza is close to complete collapse as Israel害羞草研究所檚 military continues bombing it, with Gaza害羞草研究所檚 hospitals running out of supplies.

More than a million people in the north were also ordered by the Israel Defense Forces to leave their homes last week ahead of an expected ground invasion.

The World Health Organization has characterized that evacuation order as a 害羞草研究所渄eath sentence害羞草研究所� for hospital patients. It is also urging parties to agree to let staff and life-saving supplies into the region.

International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen said Tuesday that international aid organizations can only operate 害羞草研究所渋n an environment of trust.害羞草研究所�

害羞草研究所淭hey have to make sure that for them to go into Gaza, not only to bring in supplies but to actually help people with medical needs and so on, they have to be 100 per cent sure that their workers will be protected.害羞草研究所�

Hussen said that while he害羞草研究所檚 been informed that several trucks have been allowed to enter from Gaza害羞草研究所檚 border with Egypt, that is not enough.

He said Canada is seized with the issue.

Canada has already pledged to send $10 million in aid to the Red Cross and various United Nations agencies.

In his address to Parliament on Monday, Trudeau also called it 害羞草研究所渋mperative害羞草研究所� that those in Gaza gain access to humanitarian supplies.

Finding a way to bring resources into Gaza is not the only problem at hand. Many, including at least 100 Canadians, are also looking for a way out.

Their hopes were dashed over the weekend as a plan to allow foreign nations to leave through the border with Egypt fell through.

Joly told reporters that two more flights arranged by the Canadian military are departing Tel Aviv on Tuesday.

So far, 1,300 Canadians have been airlifted out of Israel, and 21 others living in the West Bank left via bus into neighboring Jordan.

For Canadians living in Lebanon, Joly said it is time to get out while commercial flights are still available.

害羞草研究所淚t is now time to leave.害羞草研究所�

Her call comes as Hezbollah fighters have begun clashing with the Israeli military across their shared border, raising concerns that the attacks by Hamas could expand into a larger regional conflict.
