Morocco sends 40 tonnes of medical aid to Gaza

Morocco has begun sending 40 tons of medical aid to Palestinians in war-torn Gaza, the Moroccan foreign ministry said on Monday, according to a report by Reuters. 

The aid includes surgery equipment and supplies to treat burns and fractures, as well as medicine for children, it said.

The aid was transported by air and will be loaded into Palestinian red crescent trucks at the Kerem Shalom border crossing, which was first used by Morocco to deliver aid in March, a senior diplomatic source told Reuters.

There have been many protests in Moroccan cities criticizing normalisation with Israel which have only grown since Israel's war on Gaza.
