These humanitarian aids were handed over by the Moroccan ambassador to Egypt and permanent representative of the Kingdom to the Arab League, Ahmed Tazi, to the representative of the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Fathi Abou Warda.

On this occasion, the Palestinian official expressed his esteem and gratitude to HM the King for His continuous support to the Palestinian cause and His defense of the Palestinians' legitimate right to establish an independent State.

He also conveyed the greetings and gratitude of the Palestinian Authority to the Sovereign and Morocco for this initiative that will alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people, mentioning the positive impact of this royal solicitude on the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip who are living in difficult conditions in the context of escalating tensions.

On Tuesday, two Royal Armed Forces (RAF) aircraft carrying 20 tons of these aids landed at Cairo East Air Base Airport in Egypt.

This initiative is part of the continuation of the air bridge established by the Kingdom with the arrival on Sunday in Amman, Jordan, of two military aircraft carrying humanitarian aid consisting of basic foodstuffs, medicines for emergency care and blankets. This aid will be transported to the Palestinian territories by trucks across the border bridge between Jordan and Palestine.

His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, had kindly given His High Instructions to send emergency humanitarian aid to the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Consisting of 40 tons, this humanitarian aid is composed of basic foodstuffs (30 tons), emergency medicines and blankets (10 tons).

This Royal Decision is part of the Kingdom's continued support for the just Palestinian cause and its permanent solidarity with the brotherly Palestinian people.

The Kingdom of Morocco had denounced, in the strongest terms, the violence perpetrated in the occupied Palestinian territories and whose continuation only leads to widening the gap, exacerbating resentments and removing the chances of peace in the region.

The Kingdom of Morocco, which places the Palestinian cause at the top of its concerns, remains faithful to its commitment to the achievement of the two-State solution, living side by side in peace and security, through the creation of a Palestinian State within the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Al-Quds as its capital.
