Palestinian People: People and Saudi-Led Blockade

palestinian people: The list of countries devastated by conflict grows long, according to Toronto Star. Entrenched crises continued in Syria, Iraq and South Sudan. Canada has made contributions in 2017 to addressing many of those global challenges; but that has not always been backed up with consistent action at home. Widespread ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya people erupted in Myanmar, with hundreds of villages razed, untold numbers of people killed, and over 600,000 refugees forced to flee to neighbouring Bangladesh. The Palestinian people marked 50 years of human rights abuse under Israeli military occupation. The crisis in Yemen deepened; the grim civilian toll exacerbated by a Saudi-led blockade that impedes humanitarian relief. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
