In the Rabat Meeting: Dr. Hamad Commends Morocco’s Role and Conveys the Suffering of Affected Children in Gaza
Acting Minister of State for Relief Affairs and Minister of Social Development, Dr. Samah Hamad, affirmed the depth of partnership and cooperation with the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency, during her participation via Zoom in the briefing session held in the Moroccan capital, Rabat, with the participation of a number of Arab and Islamic entities, to discuss mechanisms for enhancing support directed to Palestine in light of the escalating humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip. At the beginning of her remarks, Dr. Hamad conveyed the greetings of H.E. President Mahmoud Abbas and H.E. Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mustafa, commending the historic and continuous positions of the brotherly Kingdom of Morocco, under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, and affirming the need to transform Arab solidarity into practical steps that contribute to protecting the Palestinian people and strengthening their resilience, especially in light of the unprecedented humanitarian crisis facing the Gaza Strip. Dr. Hamad reviewed the key provisions of the partnership agreement recently signed between the Palestinian Ministry of Social Development and the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency, which includes three primary interventions in favor of affected children in the Gaza Strip: covering the care of children who have undergone limb amputations, establishing a specialized mental health clinic to provide psychological support services to children, in addition to launching a banking sponsorship program for the care of orphans. She indicated that these interventions come in response to the increasing number of injuries among children due to the Israeli aggression, particularly those resulting in amputations, affirming that the agency has been proactive in allocating support to the Gaza Strip in the fields of food, health, and humanitarian aid. She also addressed the field situation, pointing to the displacement of more than 60,000 citizens from their homes in the northern West Bank as a result of the practices of the occupation, and the continued assaults on the Gaza Strip and violations in the city of Jerusalem. She affirmed that the Palestinian government, under the guidance of the leadership, has established an emergency operations room to coordinate relief efforts, and activated a comprehensive national plan for early recovery and reconstruction, in line with Arab and Islamic efforts aimed at supporting Palestine. She concluded her remarks by affirming that the partnership with the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency represents an important step towards unifying efforts and strengthening joint action to serve the Palestinian cause, and offers a practical model of Arab solidarity with the Palestinian people in light of the current challenges.
Dr. Samah Hamad Follows Up on Humanitarian Response Efforts and Highlights Escalating Needs in Gaza and Northern West Bank
Amid intensified attacks on the Gaza Strip and ongoing military incursions in the northern West Bank, Acting Minister of State for Relief Affairs and Minister of Social Development, Dr. Samah Hamad, has stepped up meetings with international and regional partners to strengthen humanitarian response and secure urgent support for affected communities. In a meeting with the British Ambassador to Palestine, Dr. Hamad outlined key obstacles to aid delivery, including the suspension of rubble removal due to restrictions on heavy equipment entry, lack of funding, and the growing displacement crisis in the northern West Bank, which has affected over 60,000 people amid severe shelter shortages. At the national level, she met with the Chamber of Commerce and Palestinian business leaders to discuss collaboration in supporting displaced and vulnerable families. She shared details of a planned housing unit project and confirmed the Ministry will provide the Chamber with official lists of registered families in need to ensure targeted and transparent support. In a separate meeting with Palestine’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Dr. Zuhair Hamdallah, the two discussed ways to activate bilateral humanitarian cooperation with Pakistan. While in Amman, Dr. Hamad met with Jordanian Minister of Social Development H.E. Wafa Bani Mustafa and Secretary-General of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization, Dr. Hussein Al-Shibli. The talks focused on scaling up joint relief efforts, particularly in Gaza. Dr. Hamad praised Jordan’s role in delivering emergency aid, operating the field hospital, and supporting children with disabilities through the “Restoring Hope” initiative. The Minister called for unified humanitarian efforts and stronger coordination with donors—especially in shelter, cash assistance, and cash-for-work programming—through partnerships with civil society, the private sector, and UN agencies.
Amid Ongoing Aggression: Minister of Social Development Discusses Humanitarian Coordination with Jordan
Under the patronage of H.E. Wafa Bani Mustafa, Minister of Social Development of Jordan, and with the generous hosting of the Jordanian Ministry of Social Development, Acting Minister of State for Relief Affairs and Minister of Social Development, Dr. Samah Hamad, participated in an important coordination meeting held in the Jordanian capital, Amman. The meeting was attended by the Secretary-General of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), H.E. Dr. Hussein Al-Shibli, along with a number of humanitarian and relief partners. Dr. Samah Hamad expressed her gratitude and appreciation to Jordan—its leadership, government, and people—for their steadfast political and humanitarian support for Palestine. She emphasized that the "Restoring Hope" initiative, highlighted in the speech of His Majesty King Abdullah II at the Global Disability Summit in Berlin, resonated widely in shedding light on the suffering of children with disabilities in Gaza. Dr. Hamad praised the Hashemite Kingdom’s humanitarian efforts, whether through the Jordanian Armed Forces or the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization, noting that their support stands as a model of effective and rapid humanitarian response—from continuous airdrops of emergency aid to the ongoing operation of the field hospital, which continues to provide essential healthcare under extremely difficult circumstances. She also commended the strong partnership with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization and its continued support for Gaza, stressing the importance of maintaining cooperation to confront the growing humanitarian needs in both Gaza and the West Bank, especially amid repeated military raids and forced displacement in northern refugee camps. Dr. Hamad called for increased attention and support for the northern governorates of the West Bank, which are witnessing a sharp deterioration in humanitarian conditions. During the meeting, Jordanian Minister of Social Development Wafa Bani Mustafa praised Jordan’s ongoing support for the people of Gaza. She noted that 400 prosthetic limbs have been provided to date as part of the Restoring Hope initiative, which aims to reach 16,000 beneficiaries in the coming years. She also announced the allocation of $3 million, in partnership with a donor, to provide infant formula for children in Gaza through the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization. This commitment is one of the outcomes of the Palestinian Child Rights Conference, held under the royal patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II. For his part, Dr. Hussein Al-Shibli affirmed the ongoing coordination and joint work between the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization and the Ministry of Social Development in Palestine, in implementation of royal directives. He confirmed that the support will also include the West Bank, particularly the northern regions affected by forced displacement. He also noted the continuation and expansion of the prosthetics initiative to reach a larger number of those in need and to institutionalize the program within an independent framework—building on the trust that international organizations place in the pivotal role of the JHCO in delivering aid to those most in need. The series of meetings concluded with all parties reaffirming the importance of unifying humanitarian efforts and coordinating relief work to support the Palestinian people, while calling for the opening of crossings, an end to the aggression on Gaza, and the start of a recovery and reconstruction phase.
