Two families from Gaza that moved to Manitoba for medical treatment were welcomed by the premier, the Manitoba Islamic Association and members of the local Palestinian community at an event in Winnipeg on Sunday.

In January, provincial officials welcomed an 11-year-old boy who could not get the medical care he needed due to the Israel-Hamas war. Last month, a second child from Gaza arrived to access life-changing medical care in the province.

Ruheen Aziz, vice-chair of the Manitoba Islamic Association's board, said Sunday's event at the association's Grand Mosque on Waverley Street was an official welcome party for the families now that they have settled in the city.

"They are adjusting well to the Winnipeg community, the school system, the larger community as well. They're happy to be here," Aziz said.
