More Canadians landed in parts of the country on Thursday, days after being able to escape Gaza at the Rafah border crossing amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

No new crossings by Canadians occurred on Thursday, but while more than 360 have already left, there remain many more still trapped in a region that has now lost most internet and phone service.

As Sean Previl reports, groups are stepping up to help as these families make it to Canada as others continue to urge world leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, to call for a ceasefire.

  1. If these are people who came to Canada just to get citizenship & then went back to Gaza, taxpayers SHOULD NOT waste money getting them out. Convenient Canadians are what they are.

    In order to get Canadian citizenship, you MUST give up your homeland citizenship, live in Canada & support Canadaโ€™s economy. If you donโ€™t want to, no citizenship. If someone comes to Canada with the sole intent of having a child, that child SHOULD NOT be Canadian, but revert to the parents homeland.

  2. The people in this story were ALREADY Canadians!.. not by "convenience" either. The man was just coming home to Toronto after visiting his family in Gaza- when the war broke out.. The Muslim lady here already has a Canadian accent.. What's with bigoted comments in the comment section??

  3. Different media newscasts have given differing words about who is being allowed to come to Canada from Gaza. Some say โ€œCanadiansโ€ while others say,โ€people with Canadian connectionsโ€. Now Iโ€™m hearing Palestinian-Canadians โ€œand their familiesโ€. Can anyone clarify?

  4. For a month now in many interviews, I've heard Palestinian Canadians criticizing one government only besides Israel: Canada. Angrily & repetitively … for not doing more. What about the Hamas government doing more? Cda didn't create this war, yet some are insisting on so much from Cda! Are they grateful for Canada's extreme efforts to help those in need overseas (regardless of their contributions to Cda)? Plus Canada is about everyone being peaceful & getting along in Cda. Canadian Israelis/Palestinians, Canadian Hindus/Sikhs etc.. Certain diaspora are stirring up tribal hatreds in Cda even though it all stems from their ancestral home. How is the world going to find peace with this in play?

  5. they came to canada just for a paper ..went back to their country of origin to live there ..now again government of canada are trying to get them out and to bring them back to canada from the tax payers money …
