A Moroccan plane carried on Saturday evening another group of 62 Libyans wounded in the fights between the rebels and the pro-Gadhafi forces in the past months, to the Kingdom to receive medical care.
This takes to 120 the number of Libyan wounded evacuated since last Thursday to Morocco for care, upon instructions of HM King Mohammed VI.
The humanitarian initiative was appreciatively welcomed by the wounded, their families and the National Transitional Council.
Morocco was among the first countries to express support for the Libyan revolution, ever since the creation of the Transitional Council, which the Kingdom recognized as the unique, legitimate representative of the Libyan people.
It also set up a makeshift hospital and sent important humanitarian aid and medical equipment to the camps pitched for refugees near the Tunisian border.
