The northeastern BC City of Dawson Creek has declared a state of emergency over its water supply. The Kiskatina River is the city's only source of water. The river provides drinking water for 15,000 people in the city and surrounding area.

Tension is rising over Hamas's failure to return all the bodies of deceased Israeli hostages. Of the 28, only eight have been sent back. Israel's military says one body returned yesterday is not the remains of a hostage.

In return, Israel is restricting the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Breyer Stewart reports from Jerusalem. Aid trucks move towards the Rafa crossing between Egypt and Gaza. But Israeli officials say they will not be allowed into the strip and that the border will only reopen to permit the movement of Gazis. As part of the ceasefire agreement, 600 trucks are supposed to be allowed in every day. But Israel announced that it was going to curtail aid in an attempt to put pressure on Hamas to return more of the remains of the deceased hostages.

Under the deal for every body of an Israeli hostage that's returned, Israel will return the bodies of 15 Gazans. In Gaza, Tess Ingram with UNICEF says, while aid hasn't been flooding in, the ceasefire means that they are able to distribute the supplies they do have more widely. We really do continue to urge the Israeli authorities to keep the crossings open. There's also internal tension. Hamas has been fighting with local gangs and carrying out public executions.

Friar Stewart, CBC News, Jerusalem. Defense ministers from NATO countries are discussing ways to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia and say they are also concerned about an escalation in airspace violations. NATO's Secretary General Mark Ruta says it's time to bring the war to an end, but Ukraine says it needs more weapons to fend off Russia's attacks. The CBC's Julia Chapman reports. Mark Ruta says Ukraine's security is linked with NATO's, most of which now goes through a new initiative.

It sees members buy weapons for Ukraine from U.S. stockpiles. Canada was one of the first to sign up. Russia says more than half of allies are now involved. But he acknowledges that some weapons only the U.S. can provide. We have a lot of tomahawks. Donald Trump will host Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House on Friday. He's considering whether to give Ukraine long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles. Russia says the meeting is important.

Because in the end, what we need to achieve is to make sure that Putin gets to the table, that meaningful negotiations start. That is where the Europeans have come together to discuss security guarantees, together with Canada and others. NATO is also looking at its own security. Grusha says NATO has stepped up its vigilance and enhanced its security. But he said more will need to be done to meet the hybrid threat from Russia. Julia Chapman, CBC News, London.
