Here’s the latest on Mark Carney’s criticism of Israel as dozens of kids and adults starve to death in Gaza, the Hockey Canada verdict, and how the premiers’ plans for provincial work permits may not solve anything.

The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is beyond the world’s “worst fears,” Australia’s government said Friday, as reports of mass starvation and disease across the war-torn enclave persist.

Some of Israel’s closest allies have stepped up criticism of its restrictions on aid to Gaza, where doctors and aid organizations say people are dying of starvation.

The prime minister’s statement is the latest sign of rising international alarm over the starvation and deaths of civilians in the besieged Palestinian territory.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said during a meeting with King Abdullah of Jordan on Monday that Canada will 'fully reject any attempt to separate, to change the demographic or territorial make up' of occupied Palestinian territories.
