Canada brings seven citizens out of Israel, West Bank as most find their own way out
OTTAWA — Global Affairs Canada says it brought just seven Canadians out of Israel and the West Bank to Jordan on buses offered Wednesday.
Ottawa started offering evacuations from both regions later than some of its allies, and has taken note of low uptick from Canadians.
A chartered flight from Jordan left Tuesday for Athens with Canadians filling just 95 of the 265 seats Ottawa had arranged.
Consular officials continue to be stationed at countries bordering Iran, where Canada has no diplomatic presence, to help people find commercial routes home.
