Canada announced on Monday it will provide some US$70 million in financing to UNRWA, the UN agency for “Palestinian refugees”, AFP reports.

The aid, amounting to CAN$90 million, will be distributed over three years and comes after the agency's chief warned last month it was facing its "worst financial crisis" ever.
