faith-based organizations: Operation Ezra is the work of several faith-based organizations in Manitoba, including the Winnipeg Jewish Federation of Winnipeg and the Manitoba Multifaith Council, according to CTV. Dozens gathered to welcome the family of eight, which includes a mother, father and six children, whose flight was delayed following attacks at an Istanbul airport June 29. The refugees arrived in Winnipeg thanks to Operation Ezra, a venture to bring in danger Yazidi families caught in the violence in Iraq to Winnipeg. The family was just 30 minutes away from the airport when the bombs went off. It was amazing," said father Khudher Naso through the voice of a translator. It was one of the most joyful moments of my life, for me coming down the escalator and seeing that big of a crowd. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
