Canada's Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced on Monday that the country will increase the number of refugees it accepts from Gaza from 1,000 to 5,000. The new cap is part of a special program aimed at reuniting Palestinians in the war-torn enclave with their relatives in Canada. This move comes as Canada pledges to grant temporary visas to 5,000 Gaza residents who are related to Canadians. However, the Canadian government noted that helping people flee from Gaza is mostly out of its control due to the ongoing conflict in the region.
