Rabat – King Mohammed VI has given instructions to send humanitarian aid to Madagascar on Thursday, following tropical cyclone Ava that passed through Madagascar on January 5 to 6, hitting mostly the eastern coast of the island, leaving 51 dead with another 22 people reported missing and thousands displaced.
The ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said in a statement, that this humanitarian aid of 30 tons is made up of tents, blankets and basic foodstuffs. It was sent on board two aircrafts of the Royal Air Force.
“This action is part of the sincere friendship, the fruitful cooperation and the effective solidarity with this brotherly country, highlighted during the historical visit of King Mohammed VI in November 2016,” the statement adds.
The Moroccan monarch has also extended to president of the republic of Madagascar, Hery Rajaonarimampianina, to the victims’ families and to the Malagasy people his “heartfelt condolences and sincere compassion.”
