Morocco’s King Mohammed VI instructed the government on Friday to dispatch emergency humanitarian aid for Palestinians as part of the country's commitment to continue to support the Palestinian cause.

This humanitarian aid, consisting of 40 tons, is made up of basic food products, emergency medicine and blankets, the ministry said in a press release, asserting that the aid will be airlifted by aircraft of the Royal Armed Forces.

The decision is part of the "Kingdom's continued support for the just Palestinian cause and its permanent solidarity with the brotherly Palestinian people," the statement said.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Morocco "had denounced the violence perpetrated in the occupied Palestinian territories", and whose continuation only leads to widening the gap, reinforcing resentment and reducing all the chances of peace in the region.

The Kingdom also stressed that it remains faithful to its attachment to the achievement of the two-state solution, living side by side in peace and security, through the creation of a Palestinian state within the borders of June 4, 1967, with Eastern Jerusalem as its capital.
