A Canadian humanitarian organization says its key water-aid truck was bombed in Gaza this week, and the federal government now says it has contacted the Israeli government for “more information” on the incident.

The response comes after the aid agency called on Ottawa to mount a full investigation into what it believes was a “targeted” incident. The IDRF, a registered non-profit based in Toronto, told CBC News that the incident is believed to be the first bombing of a Canadian aid truck during the current war in Gaza.

The truck was bombed in the early hours of Wednesday morning, the relief agency said. It was parked outside the Tuffah district in the northern part of Gaza at the time, and was clearly marked with the organization’s name and a maple leaf, it added.

    Did you assume he meant the conservative party and not a conservative government. Either way both support Israel which is relevant, thanks though.

      Yes considering he said conservative government. In Canada if you’re referring to a government you refer to the party in charge. Not my fault dude is WILDLY unclear and talking bout foreign politics they misunderstand.
