Morocco’s emergency aid to Gaza: a historic commitment to the Palestinian cause

The emergency humanitarian initiative launched by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, President of the Al-Quds Committee, in support of the Palestinian people—particularly in Gaza—has been widely praised by several Palestinian figures. This act of solidarity, grounded in humanitarian and moral values, reflects Morocco’s historic and ongoing commitment to the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, both politically and in humanitarian terms.

Mahmoud Azzaq, member of the Palestinian Central Council, expressed deep gratitude to the King, the Government, and the Moroccan people. He emphasized that Morocco spares no effort in defending the Palestinian cause on the international stage, and that this Royal initiative sends a powerful message of fraternal solidarity—especially during this time of severe crisis in the Gaza Strip.

In this context of immense hardship, Azzaq stated that the aid carries deep political and moral significance. It reaffirms Morocco’s unwavering support for the rights of the Palestinian people, at a time when Gaza is enduring profound suffering due to the blockade and ongoing regional instability.

Amjad Al-Shawa, head of the Network of Civil Society and Human Rights Institutions in Gaza, underlined the deeply humanitarian dimension of the initiative. He noted that it will help ease the suffering of the population and strengthen a healthcare system on the verge of collapse. According to him, Morocco’s support is part of a broader effort to end the aggression and lift the blockade on Gaza.

Political analyst Mansour Abou Karim highlighted the symbolic and diplomatic weight of this aid. He praised the “noble and sincere” stance of His Majesty the King, who has consistently defended the Palestinian cause both in international forums and through concrete actions on the ground. According to him, this initiative reaffirms Morocco’s central role in Arab and Islamic solidarity efforts.
