Ottawa, May 17 (IBNS): Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called an investigation to probe a reported incident in which one of his countrymen, who is a doctor by profession, was shot in Gaza, media reports said.

Tarek Loubani said he was shot at his leg while providing medical facilities to all those who were protesting along the border between Gaza and Israel.

Trudeau said Canada "deplores" the violence.

In a statement which has been quoted by BBC, Trudeau said Canada is "gravely concerned by the violence in the Gaza Strip that has led to a tragic loss of life and injured countless people".

"We are appalled that Dr Tarek Loubani, a Canadian citizen, is among the wounded - along with so many unarmed people, including civilians, members of the media, first responders, and children."

Trudeau has called for an investigation to see whether there was any incitement, violence and the use of force.

Dr. Loubani has also said one paramedic was killed and several others were injured during a violence in Israel.

Loubani has been quoted by BBC, "I was facing in a southerly direction talking to a colleague. The snipers were situated east of us.

"I was wearing visible full hospital greens. There was no active shooting from the Israelis immediately before or after. There were no protesters in our immediate vicinity."
