King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al Quds Committee, has given his instructions to deploy a humanitarian food aid operation for the Palestinian population in Gaza and the holy city of Al Quds, reads a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates. This aid, which coincides with the advent of the holy month of Ramadan, aims to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian populations, notably their most vulnerable sections, according to the statement. Thus, the aid ordered by the King for the population of Gaza is made up of over 40 tons of foodstuffs, including basic food items. The ministry pointed out that since the outbreak of armed hostilities more than five months ago, Morocco is the first country to dispatch, through this unprecedented land route, its humanitarian aid which will be delivered directly to recipient populations. Moreover, King Mohammed VI has also given his instructions to Bayt Mal Al Quds Agency to provide humanitarian aid to the populations of the holy city. Thus, 2,000 food baskets for 2,000 Al Quds families will be distributed, and 1,000 meals will be served daily for Palestinians in the city. The aid also provides for setting up an emergency coordination room in the Jerusalem Hospital.
