Morocco Delivers Third Humanitarian Convoy to Gaza Amid Deepening Crisis
The Kingdom of Morocco has successfully delivered its third humanitarian aid convoy to the besieged Gaza Strip, reinforcing its commitment to the Palestinian cause amid a deepening humanitarian emergency, reports 24brussels.
This shipment, authorized by King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, crossed through the Kerem Shalom border crossing and included essential medical supplies, life-saving medications, and food staples.
The cargo was received by the Palestinian Red Crescent, which will manage its distribution to the most affected areas. Local residents expressed heartfelt gratitude, with one Gazan stating: “We sincerely thank the Moroccans for standing with us. Their sustained aid deliveries – especially medicines – provide crucial relief. Moroccans have shown exceptional generosity and solidarity.”
This latest convoy adds to Morocco’s humanitarian campaign that has delivered a total of 180 tons of aid, which includes blankets, fresh vegetables, and medical equipment, transported via military aircraft and ground convoys. The initiative exemplifies both humanitarian urgency and strategic diplomacy, positioning Morocco as a key actor in Islamic solidarity and regional relief coordination.
Morocco’s efforts coincide with a surge in multinational aid operations. Over the past week, Jordan, the UAE, France, Germany, and Canada have engaged in precision airdrops and air bridge missions, delivering tons of emergency supplies to bypass access restrictions and reach civilians affected by the ongoing hostilities.
The Canadian Armed Forces deployed a CC-130J Hercules aircraft to drop 21,600 pounds of aid, while Jordanian aircraft transported 35 tons of supplies in a coordinated mission with European partners. These efforts come amid escalating international pressure to increase humanitarian access and prevent famine-related casualties.
Analysts highlight that Morocco’s leadership through the Al-Quds Committee reinforces its dual role as a diplomatic mediator and humanitarian provider, particularly as Gaza faces catastrophic shortages of food, medicine, and shelter.
With the situation deteriorating, experts anticipate further coordinated international interventions, aiming for expanded land corridors, maritime relief missions, and diplomatic efforts to restore ceasefire agreements and ensure safe aid delivery.
