Morocco whose Monarch chairs the Al-Quds Committee, reiterates ”its great concern and its deep indignation” following the escalation of military of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
More than three weeks after the outbreak of military clashes, civilians are still targeted, causing thousands of victims among children and women and tens of thousands of injured, homeless, and missing, the Foreign Ministry notes in a press release, adding that places of worship, hospitals, and refugee camps are still bombed, the latest is the Jabalya camp.
Missiles and shells are more and more randomly targeting civilian facilities, forcing more than a million people to flee and depriving the population of water, electricity, and fuel, thus generating a catastrophic humanitarian situation, the same source points out.
The Kingdom of Morocco affirmed that all the Israeli acts of escalation are in contradiction with international humanitarian law and common values, and warned of a spread of the conflict inside the Palestinian territories and the dangerous expansion of the perimeter of violence to affect neighbouring areas, thus threatening the security and stability of the entire region, the ministry underlines.
The statement pointed out the regret and disappointment Morocco has at the inaction of the international community, the Security Council’s failure to assume its responsibilities, and the inability of influential countries to put an end to the catastrophic situation.
Reiterating its support for the Palestinian National Authority and its national institutions, under the leadership of President Mahmoud Abbas, the Kingdom of Morocco under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, calls for a de-escalation leading to a ceasefire and the opening of humanitarian corridors to facilitate the entry of aid in a rapid, sustainable, and unhindered manner, as well as the release of prisoners and detainees, with the obligation to open a political perspective to the Palestinian issue making it possible to relaunch the two-State solution, as agreed by the international community, the Ministry concluded.
