Morocco… the only country providing direct humanitarian aid to Palestinians without intermediaries, with dignity on the ground

By: Meryem Hafiani – ALDAR

In a significant humanitarian moment reflecting Morocco’s deep moral and sovereign commitment to the Palestinian cause, the Kingdom has stood out as the only country choosing direct intervention on the ground to deliver urgent humanitarian and medical aid to the Palestinians, without relying on intermediaries or international or non-governmental organizations. This initiative, which clearly embodies a humanitarian and strategic Royal vision, once again proves that Morocco does not settle for symbolic gestures but translates its solidarity into concrete actions, carried out with full sovereignty and meticulous planning.

Unlike many international actors operating through multilateral frameworks or indirect channels, Morocco chose to be in direct contact with the Palestinian suffering, personally overseeing the delivery of aid through a carefully secured and dedicated humanitarian corridor. This exceptional logistical route enabled the bypassing of known obstacles to aid delivery, ensuring timely distribution and reflecting the Kingdom’s organizational and sovereign capabilities in the humanitarian field, even in the most sensitive areas.

Yet the most important aspect of this Moroccan initiative lies not only in its speed or directness, but in the way the aid was delivered: in dignified humanitarian conditions, reflecting the values of genuine solidarity and closeness. There was no theatrical display—only sincere moments between two peoples bound by deep historical and spiritual ties. The widely shared images illustrate the profound respect shown by the Moroccan side in dealing with those in need, leaving a lasting impression on the Palestinian recipients who expressed heartfelt gratitude for this unique gesture.

This assistance is not a one-time response, but part of a consistent Moroccan approach, led by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, who has made the defense of Palestinian rights a central pillar of Morocco’s foreign policy and a field for genuine—not symbolic—solidarity. Morocco doesn’t just speak of supporting the Palestinians; it goes to them, bringing medicine, food, and moral support, delivering a clear message: that an Arab country still believes in their cause and stands by them with dignity and responsibility.

With this intervention, Morocco reinforces its position as a fully sovereign regional actor, offering a unique model of honest and effective humanitarian solidarity—at a time when many positions have lost their human substance in favor of political calculations. Morocco didn’t engage in this crisis with slogans, but through presence, impact, and profound respect for the humanity of the Palestinian people.
