Moroccan Humanitarian aid to the palestinian population

The Kingdom of Morocco, under the high instructions of King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al Quds Committee, has deployed a humanitarian food aid operation for the Palestinian population in Gaza and the Holy City of Al Quds.

This aid, which coincides with the advent of the holy month of Ramadan, aims to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian populations, notably their most vulnerable sections. It is made up of over 40 tons of foodstuffs, including basic foodstuffs.

Besides the institutional aid, deployed notably through the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, the King Mohammed VI, has covered, a large part of the dispatched aid, particularly the aid delivered to babies and young children, from the Sovereign’s personal funds.

The Moroccan aid was transported by Moroccan planes to Tel Aviv and was dispatched to Gaza by direct land route.

Since the outbreak of armed hostilities more than five months ago, Morocco is the first country to dispatch, through this unprecedented land route, its humanitarian aid which will be delivered directly to recipient populations.

Morocco did not opt for dropping aid, due to its lack of effectiveness, the risk of the destruction of food, and also in order to avoid causing victims with the fall of cargo and to respect the dignity of the population.

Moreover, the King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al Quds Committee, has also given His Very High Instructions to « Bayt Mal Al Quds Agency » to provide a humanitarian aid to the populations of this Holy City.

Thus, 2,000 food baskets for 2,000 Al Quds families will be distributed and 1,000 meals will be served daily for Palestinians in the City.

The aid also provides for setting up an emergency coordination room in the Jerusalem Hospital. This large-scale humanitarian operation for Palestinian populations confirms the effective commitment and continued solicitude of the King Mohammed VI for the Palestinian cause.

This humanitarian aid is part of a long tradition of active solidarity with Palestine, and in the continuity of Royal consideration of the Palestinian people. Among the humanitarian operations carried out in the past: the transportation of 25 tons of aid to the population of Gaza via the Rafah crossing from Egypt in October 2023 and the deployment of a medical-surgical field hospital in Gaza in 2018.
