Palestinians in Gaza commend Morocco’s emergency humanitarian & medical aid
Palestinians in Gaza have highly commended the emergency humanitarian and medical aid sent on the instructions of King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, in support of the Palestinian people, particularly the populations of the Gaza Strip, stated Ahmad Majdalani, member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
“We express our deep gratitude and great appreciation and esteem to HM the King, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, who issued his very high instructions for the dispatch of this humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip,” he told MAP, noting that this humanitarian initiative adds to the Sovereign’s countless efforts and reflects the spirit of solidarity of the brotherly Moroccan people.
Majdalani praised the efforts and numerous initiatives undertaken by King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, to support the rights of the Palestinian people. These actions are not limited to the provision of humanitarian aid, but also include the political support provided by the Kingdom of Morocco to the Palestinian people and their cause, he said.
Majdalani also hailed the level of relations, ongoing political consultation, and coordination between Morocco and the Palestinian Authority.
Mahmoud El Habash, Advisor to the Palestinian President for Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations also hailed the King’s noble gesture that falls, he said, in line with the Sovereign’s many initiatives in favor of the Palestinian cause.
“For Palestinians, such humanitarian gestures are not new coming from the brotherly Kingdom of Morocco,” he said, adding that they embody the commitment of the Moroccan King and people to uphold the values of solidarity and mutual support with the Palestinian people.
This humanitarian initiative is yet another illustration of the major role played by the King, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, in support of the Palestinian people and their just causes, said the Palestinian presidential advisor.
The Director of Al Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Omar Al Kiswani, on his part expressed deep gratitude to King Mohammed VI for the emergency humanitarian and medical aid sent in support of the Palestinian people, particularly the population of Gaza.
Sheikh Al Kiswani said this royal initiative is “an act of benevolence to alleviate the suffering” and respond to the needs of the population of Gaza which lacks means of livelihood.
He also extended his heartfelt appreciation and sincere thanks to Morocco “for its tireless efforts in supporting the Palestinian people,” and praised the various projects launched by the Kingdom in support of the Palestinian people, particularly through the programs and initiatives of the Bayt Mal Al Quds Asharif Agency, which aim to preserve the Holy City, safeguard its civilizational heritage and Islamic identity, and strengthen the resilience of its inhabitants.
“These commendable efforts are highly welcomed by our families in Palestine and the residents of the Holy City,” he added.
The first Moroccan planes carrying urgent humanitarian aid, ordered by King Mohammed VI, Chairman of Al-Quds Committee, to assist the brotherly Palestinian people, particularly the residents of the Gaza Strip, already landed, according to press reports.
The 180 tons of emergency humanitarian aid shipments were to be trucked into Gaza, via a specially arranged route to ensure its rapid and direct delivery to the affected Palestinian communities.
The total aid package includes infant formula, medicine, surgical supplies, tents, blankets, and other essential equipment.
The initiative reflects Morocco’s unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian cause and comes as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens. According to the World Food Programme, more than 500,000 people across the Palestinian territories are now living in famine conditions. Gaza has entered what the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification system defines as the “worst-case scenario of famine.”
