Canada on Tuesday reiterated a call for its citizens to leave Lebanon while they can, saying the security situation in the country was becoming increasingly volatile and unpredictable due to the conflict between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah.

"My message to Canadians has been clear since the beginning of the crisis in the Middle East: it is not the time to travel to Lebanon. And for Canadians currently in Lebanon, it is time to leave, while commercial flights remain available," Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said in a statement.

The center also distributed on Thursday 575 shelter kits and 800 personal hygiene kits to displaced families in Khartoum State, Sudan, benefiting 4,600 individuals. This distribution is part of a project to provide urgent shelter assistance to Sudan in 2024.
These efforts are part of a series of relief and humanitarian projects implemented by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through KSrelief to aid the Sudanese and Yemeni.
