The urgent humanitarian aid sent on high instructions of HM King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, for the benefit of the Palestinians, was handed on Thursday in Ramallah to the Palestinian National Authority.

The aid, which was sent to Marka International Airport in Amman, Jordan, before entering by land through the Jordan-Palestine border crossing, consists of 40 tons of basic foodstuffs, medicines for emergency care and blankets.

Speaking on this occasion, Mahmoud Al-Habbach described as a "generous gesture" the humanitarian aid sent, on high instructions of HM the King to the Palestinian people, which confirms once again the solidarity of Morocco with the Palestinian people.

"The Palestinian people need to feel supported by their brothers and friends, and the gesture of HM King Mohammed VI is part of this context," he said.

He expressed, on behalf of the Palestinian President, his deep gratitude and thanks to His Majesty the King for this gesture, expressing the hope that all brothers will support the resistance of the Palestinian people.
