Canadians on aid flotilla deported

The Canadian government has confirmed that its citizens who were part of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla are being deported from Israel to Turkey.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand stated that the individuals are safe and are being assisted by consular officials.

The deportation follows a tense interception in international waters that drew condemnation from several Western nations.

Canadian activists described being subjected to harsh treatment and denied basic necessities while in Israeli custody, allegations that have prompted calls for a formal investigation by Ottawa.
