Rabat- Palestinian Grand Mufti of Al Quds (Jerusalem) Muhammad Ahmad Hussein has expressed deep appreciation for King Mohammed VI’s humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, following the Gazan tragedy during protests against the US embassy move to Jerusalem in May.
The Islamic cleric described the sovereign’s initiative as an act of benevolence, kindness, and great generosity on Tuesday at the press house of Tangier. The imam of Al-Quds Mosque visited Morocco upon invitation by the Ministry of Religious Endowments and Islamic Affairs to attend the King’s lectures.
He emphasized in a statement to the state-owned press, Maghreb Arab Press (MAP), that Morocco has always been by the side of Palestine and that the act of solidarity is no surprise.
“The wound of Palestinians is bleeding. The Palestinian people live in critical condition and are in dire need of their brothers to mend their wounds. The [King’s] assistance came to mend the wounds of Palestinians and make them realize that they are not alone but have brothers in the far Maghreb region who want to extend a hand of help,” the Grand Mufti told Moroccan news outlet Le 360.
Last week, King Mohammed VI personally supervised the transport of humanitarian aid to Palestine at Casablanca airport.
The King sent a Royal Armed Forces (FAR) medical unit and field hospital, stocked with blankets and medicine, as well as food aid from the Mohammed V Foundation of Solidarity.
The aid was to assist the people of Gaza who witnessed and suffered the massacre which took place May 14, leaving thousands injured and dozens killed in protests the same day of the US Embassy’s inauguration.
