In a statement to MAP, Mr. Benhammou noted that this aid, which was transported by land to Gaza, constitutes “a first and an important breakthrough in a very complex context when Gaza is isolated and the aid is delivered by airdrop or via the Egyptian Rafah crossing.
Morocco is the first country to transport, via this unprecedented land route, its humanitarian aid which will be delivered directly to the beneficiary populations, he maintained.
And to emphasize that it is “an operation which proves that Morocco has succeeded in breaking the blockade imposed on Gaza, by transporting aid by land” thanks to “a Royal Gesture which confirms that Morocco supports the Palestinian cause through concrete actions.
This aid reflects all the interest and special attention that HM the King pays to the Palestinian people, he added, noting that the Sovereign “has paid for a large part of this aid which aims to give priority to children, women and the elderly.
Mr. Benhamou further noted that this humanitarian aid, which comes at the start of the holy month of Ramadan, is transported to different Palestinian areas and includes the distribution of food baskets and meals as well as the provision of the hospital in Jerusalem emergency coordination room.
With this aid, the Kingdom of Morocco once again expresses “effective, concrete and permanent support” for the benefit of the Palestinian people in these difficult times, he maintained.
His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God help him, President of the Al Quds Committee, has given His Highest Instructions to deploy a humanitarian operation of food aid, by land, intended for the Palestinian population of Gaza and the City Saint of Al Quds.
