Morocco's Bayt Mal Al-Qods agency boosts Gaza aid with 500 food baskets and educational support
On Wednesday, the rescue teams of the Ertiqaa Community Development Association in Gaza completed the distribution of 500 food baskets to families across various parts of the Gaza Strip. This initiative was led by the Bayt Mal Al-Qods Acharif Agency, which operates under the Al-Qods Committee chaired by King Mohammed VI.
Carried out in multiple phases, the operation was funded by the Moroccan Association for the Support of Reconstruction in Palestine, with support from the Morocco-Palestine Solidarity Association. It reached displaced families in Mawasi Khan Younès, central governorates, refugee camps, and Gaza City.
This humanitarian effort is part of Morocco's ongoing official and grassroots support for the Palestinian cause. It aims to enhance food security among the most vulnerable families and ease their suffering amid difficult living conditions.
In May, the Bayt Mal Al-Qods Acharif Agency disbursed the first installment of funding for a prosthetics program benefiting 23 children with amputations in Gaza. The initiative was coordinated with the Palestinian Ministry of Social Development in Ramallah and supported by Morocco's Ministry of Solidarity, Social Integration, and Family.
The Agency has also helped strengthen the education system in the Gaza Strip by providing cloud servers and a distance learning platform to Al-Azhar University in Gaza. It awarded scholarships for the new semester to students at the King Hassan II Faculty of Agronomic Sciences and welcomed eight of them to continue their studies at the Hassan II Agronomic and Veterinary Institute (IAV) in Rabat.
