In a demonstration of solidarity with the Palestinian population in Gaza, Morocco has dispatched two military aircraft loaded with urgent humanitarian aid to El-Arish Airport in Egypt.

From there, the aid will be transported to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that King Mohammed VI of Morocco had instructed the immediate dispatch of humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians.

This aid package includes substantial quantities of food, medical supplies, and clean water.

The statement further indicated that the logistics for delivering this urgent assistance would be coordinated with Egyptian and Palestinian authorities.

Given the recent partial reopening of the Rafah border crossing, the aid faces logistical challenges in reaching Gaza from Egypt.

This humanitarian initiative aligns with international efforts to provide much-needed assistance to the people of Gaza during the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

It underscores Morocco's commitment to alleviating the humanitarian crisis and the suffering faced by the Palestinian population.

The situation in Gaza remains a global concern, with calls for an immediate ceasefire and the protection of civilian lives gaining momentum on the international stage.
