Global Affairs Canada has confirmed the death of a fifth Canadian in Israel after a series of attacks by Hamas militants, while Canadians in the besieged Gaza Strip still have no way to get out.

Three other Canadians who were in Israel when the attacks happened Oct. 7 are still missing, officials said Sunday.

Global Affairs did not provide details of the fifth person who died or those who are missing, citing privacy reasons.

More than 6,800 Canadians are registered in Israel, and more than 450 in the West Bank and Gaza.

Canada is currently assisting about 3,300 permanent residents, Canadians and their families.
