Morocco Sends Second Plane of Emergency Aid to Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank

Morocco has just sent a second military plane with emergency humanitarian aid on board for the Palestinian people. On the instructions of King Mohammed VI, the plane took off on Saturday evening from the Royal Air Force Air Base in Kenitra (3rd BAFRA), bound for the Jordanian capital, Amman.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on Friday that King Mohammed VI, President of the Al-Quds Committee, has given instructions for the dispatch of emergency humanitarian aid to the Palestinian population in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. It is in this context that a second flight has been operated. It consists of 20 tons of essential food products, emergency medical supplies and blankets.

In Amman, the aid will be received by the Palestinian Ambassador to Jordan in the presence of the Moroccan Ambassador and a representative of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization for Relief & Development (JHCO). Nasser Bourita’s department specified that an equivalent cargo of aid will also be transported on board two other planes to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, before being transported to the Gaza Strip.

The first humanitarian aid sent by Morocco consisted of 30 tons of essential food products, 10 tons of emergency medical supplies and blankets. This royal decision is part of the Kingdom’s support for the Palestinian cause and its solidarity with the Palestinian people, it was reported.
