Rabat, June 25- His Majesty Mohammed VI, King of Morocco has given instructions for the deployment of a humanitarian medical aid operation for the Palestinian population of Gaza, says in statement the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates.
According to the statement, this aid, ordered by the King, consists of 40 tonnes of medical products containing, in particular, equipment for treating burns and surgical and traumatological emergencies, as well as essential medicines, the Ministry emphasized in a press release, adding that these medical products concern both adults and children.
His Majesty the King has kindly agreed to cover for a large part of the aid from the Sovereign’s personal funds.
The Moroccan aid will be transported via the same unprecedented land route used for the food aid operation deployed on the Sovereign’s instructions last Ramadan, the press release states.
In last March, HM King Mohammed VI ordered the employend of more than 40 tons of humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza. The aid was deployed through the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, with members of the Royal Armed Forces overseeing the operation.
Since the start of Israel’s war on Palestinians on October 7, Morocco has been the first country to transport, through the land route, its humanitarian aid, which was delivered directly to the beneficiary population.
These large-scale humanitarian operations benefiting the Palestinian populations confirm the effective commitment and constant concern of King Mohammed VI in favor of the Palestinian Cause, concludes the same source.
