Since the start of last week, the Gaza Strip has been under a complete siege imposed by Israel. This siege has led to the deprivation of essential resources such as water, electricity, fuel, and food supplies. This situation follows the October 7th terrorist offensive carried out by the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Many Canadians who have family or friends in Israel, the West Bank, or the Gaza Strip are eager to maintain contact and ensure the safety of their loved ones. However, long-distance and SMS communication to these regions can be costly. Currently, some mobile carriers have taken a proactive role in serving the Canadian community by waiving charges to support Canadian society.
