The Canadian representatives in the Refugee Working Group announced that a Canadian government is offering US $ 4 Mil. for the relocation of the approximately 4,000 residents of the refugee camp located in Egypt, just across the border to Rafah. Since the signing of the Israeli-Egyptian peace agreement in 1982, these people, originally Gaza residents from Rafah, have been waiting for repatriation and reunification with their relatives on the Israeli side of the border. 
Israel has agreed to support the Canadian offer, but the timetable for the Canada Camp residents’ return has not yet been set.
