Mansour Shouman was in the region to help document ongoing humanitarian efforts amid the raging Israel-Hamas war.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government is “actively engaged” after a Palestinian-Canadian was reported missing in the Gaza Strip.
Mansour Shouman was in the region to help document ongoing humanitarian efforts amid the raging Israel-Hamas war.
A member of a team that was supporting him in that work says loved ones lost contact with him more than a week ago.
Global Affairs Canada confirmed on the weekend that it was aware of a Canadian who is missing in Gaza.
The department said it was working to monitor the situation and was in direct contact with family members.
No other details were disclosed for privacy reasons.
“We are actively working on this. We’re talking to everyone. We’re taking this one very seriously,” Trudeau said Wednesday.
Zaheera Soomar, who worked with Shouman, said they heard early last week that he’d been seen at a hospital in the south of the Gaza Strip but was headed for Rafah.
