In the wake of attacks by Hamas that left hundreds of Israeli civilians dead, Saskatchewan is providing emergency funds to the Middle-East nation.
According to the provincial government, Saskatchewan will provide $100,000 in “immediate emergency aid” to those affected by the violence in Israel.
The province said the money be used to purchase “ambulances, medical supplies and other lifesaving equipment,” and the funds will be administered through the Montreal-based humanitarian organization Canadian Magen David Adom for Israel (CMDA).
Premier Scott Moe said the world watched the violence unfolding in Israel over the weekend with shock and sadness.
