October 2023 – In response to urgent and growing humanitarian needs in Gaza, the West Bank and neighbouring areas, Global Affairs Canada launched the Gaza Emergency Appeal Matching Fund in partnership with the Humanitarian Coalition and its members to address the life-saving needs of people affected by this emergency. Through this mechanism, the Government of Canada matches eligible donations made by individual Canadians to the Humanitarian Coalition and its members between October 7, 2023, and November 12, 2023, up to a maximum of $13,733,125. The Humanitarian Coalition’s members use these funds to deliver life-saving assistance to those most in need.
