The NDP has accused the federal government of bungling measures introduced months ago that were meant to bring relatives of Canadians from conflict zones in Sudan and the Gaza Strip to safety.Sudanese Canadian Einam Mohammadian , Palestinian Canadian Israa Alsaafin and Safinaz El-Sohl look on as NDP MP for Vancouver East Jenny Kwan speaks during a news conference on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 in Ottawa.
Einam Mohammadian, who has roots in Sudan, says it's been painful to see her relatives flee the conflict to Ethiopia, which has its own recurring episodes of ethnic violence. Safinaz El-Sohl broke into tears when recounting desperate calls from her relatives in Gaza; the lack of answers from Canadian officials leaves her with little to tell her family members.
That means people who chose to not pay their way out beforehand are now trapped, El-Sohl says, because they were trying to follow the rules.
