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.
