Morocco to Send Further Humanitarian Assistance to Gaza
Israel Hayom reported today that King Mohammed VI previously asked Benjamin Netanyahu to allow humanitarian assistance to enter Gaza from Morocco.
'Morocco wants to fly in aid, mainly food, to Ben-Gurion Airport and then transport it by truck to the Kerem Shalom crossing,' the news outlet added.
It added that the request has been discussed by Israel's National Security Council to review the feasibility of Morocco's request.
The plan reportedly involves the eighth Hercules transport fleet.
If confirmed, the news will further reflect Morocco's ongoing commitment to the humanitarian campaign for Gaza.
In July, Bayt Mal Al Quds Asharif agency implemented the third phase of Morocco's humanitarian aid campaign, which includes a variety of fresh vegetables among other supplies.
In June 2024, Morocco's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said King Mohammed VI had sent urgent directives to deploy a medical aid operation for the people in Gaza. The aid package included 40 tons of medical supplies, with the aim of addressing medical needs amid the IOF's genocide.
In March of the same year, Morocco also sent 40 tons of humanitarian aid to alleviate the situation in Gaza.
The North African kingdom has consistently called for the entry of humanitarian aid into the enclave, as well as the lifting of the blockade and an immediate ceasefire to halt Israel's genocidal war.
People have been starving to death as Israel troops continue their relentless attacks on Palestinian homes. According to converging reports, famine has so far killed at least 154 Palestinians, including many children.
In the past 24 hours alone, seven people, including a child, succumbed to starvation. To date, a total of 89 children have died of starvation. Tags: Children killed in Gazahumanitarian aid
