Three Moroccan planes carrying humanitarian aid for Gazans land in Egypt

Three Moroccan planes carrying humanitarian aid for populations in the Gaza Strip arrived on Saturday in the Egyptian military airport of Al-Ismailia (east).

 

This is the second consignment of humanitarian aid ordered by HM King Mohammed VI to alleviate the sufferings of Palestinians who are subjected to a barbaric offensive by the Israeli army, Moroccan deputy ambassador to Cairo Ahmed Ait Issa told MAP.

 

The Royal Armed Forces will operate 12 fights from Saturday to Wednesday to airlift this relief from the Kenitra military base to the Al-Ismailia airport in Egypt, while the Egyptian Red Crescent will transport it by land to the Gaza Strip via the Rafah border post and hand it to its Palestinian counterpart which will distribute it, Ait Issa added.

 

Mobilized by the Royal Armed Forces (FAR), the Moroccan Agency for International Cooperation and the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, the relief includes 41 tons of powdered milk, rice, hygiene products, tents, blankets, mattresses and medical equipment.
