King Mohammed VI gave his instructions to set up a medical-surgical field hospital of the royal armed forces (FAR) in Gaza, following the recent tragic events that took place in the Palestinian territory, leaving hundreds of injured. This royal solicitude is meant to provide the necessary medical care to the Palestinian civilians wounded during the recent events in Gaza, said the Moroccan Foreign Ministry in a statement on Sunday. At least 62 Palestinians were killed and hundreds were wounded on May 14 when Israeli troops fired on demonstrators protesting the transfer of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Al Quds. The Moroccan Monarch’s initiative in this holy month of Ramadan is in line with his unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause and shows his active and effective solidarity with the brotherly Palestinian people, the statement said. Morocco, which deplored these tragic events, had decried as unacceptable the Israeli military escalation that threatens the Middle East stability at large.
