Carney promises $100 million for Palestinians in humanitarian aid, police training
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is pledging $100 million in new aid for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada will provide $100 million in new aid to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. This funding will be split between $80 million for humanitarian assistance and the remaining amount allocated to development projects, including a top-up for a multi-year program to train Palestinian police.
During a visit to the United Nations General Assembly, Carney emphasized that the money aims to contribute towards achieving a two-state solution. He highlighted the dire situation of Palestinians in Gaza, who are enduring "immense human suffering," while Israelis face "existential threats from Hamas and from Iran and its proxies."
Since the conflict between Israel and Gaza began in October 2023, Ottawa has committed over $600 million in aid to Palestinian civilians. Recent documents presented to Parliament detail the damage inflicted on numerous Canadian-funded aid projects by Israel's military and settlers. This report by The Canadian Press was initially published on September 22, 2026.
