Moroccan Medical Aid Reaches Gaza Amid Ongoing Starvation Crisis
Rabat – Trucks carrying Moroccan medical and food aid have arrived in Gaza, bringing much-needed relief to the Palestinian population suffering under an ongoing Israeli blockade and genocide.
A video shared by the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency on Monday shows trucks loaded with supplies making their way through the streets of Gaza. The trucks were marked with the Moroccan flag and the logo of the Mohammed VI Foundation for Solidarity.
Teams accompanied the trucks as they delivered the aid to warehouses, where it was unloaded.
The agency later posted photos showing Moroccan food aid, including baby food, canned goods, flour, and fruit, reaching storage centers in Deir el-Balah, a city in central Gaza.
This support comes at a time of severe hardship. Gaza is facing a deepening humanitarian crisis due to Israel's blockade, which has led to widespread malnutrition and starvation. Many hospitals are struggling to operate, and basic goods have become scarce and unaffordable for most people.
Morocco has sent several batches of aid to Gaza in recent days. The aid has been welcomed by many Palestinians who say it is helping to meet urgent needs. However, aid organizations warn that the volume of assistance is still far from enough.
Gaza's Government Media Office said that only 85 aid trucks entered the enclave yesterday, and many of them were looted before reaching those in need. Both the media office and the United Nations have said that between 500 to 600 trucks are needed each day to provide proper support to the population, reduce looting, and lower the high prices caused by shortages.
That number has never been met since aid was allowed to enter Gaza after a long delay caused by the Israeli siege.
The situation remains extremely dangerous. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, at least 135 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours, including 87 people who were waiting for aid. The attacks also left 771 people injured.
The ministry reported that five people died from hunger during the same period, bringing the total number of hunger-related deaths to 193, including 96 children.
Three more bodies were recovered from under the rubble of previous Israeli bombings.
The number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid has also continued to rise. Since May 27, when Israel introduced a controversial new aid distribution system through the GHF (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation), 1,655 people seeking aid have been killed, and more than 11,800 have been injured.
