Paris, August 12, 2025 – In a step reflecting ongoing commitment to solidarity with the Palestinian people, the arrival of Moroccan flour shipments to the Gaza Strip has led to the reactivation of bakeries, providing sustenance to thousands of residents amid an escalating humanitarian crisis. According to a post on the “X” platform (formerly Twitter) published by user @karroumyoussef1 on August 12, 2025, a video lasting one minute and 48 seconds shows the preparation and distribution of bread in one of Gaza’s bakeries, with Moroccan flags raised in the background, and testimonies from individuals expressing gratitude for Moroccan efforts.
This development occurs within the context of intensive Moroccan relief campaigns, where the Kingdom of Morocco has become the only country to successfully deliver direct humanitarian aid to Gaza via unprecedented land routes, despite stringent Israeli restrictions on aid entry. These aids include essential food items such as flour, in addition to medical supplies, at a time when international organizations warn of a widespread famine catastrophe in the besieged sector.
Archival Background: History of Moroccan Support for Palestine
Morocco’s commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause extends over decades, with the Kingdom always at the forefront of Arab countries providing humanitarian and diplomatic assistance. Since the establishment of relations between Morocco and Palestine, Rabat has contributed to the reconstruction of Gaza following repeated conflicts, focusing on humanitarian projects such as building hospitals and distributing food supplies. For example, in October 2023, Moroccan cities witnessed widespread demonstrations in support of Gaza, despite the diplomatic rapprochement between Rabat and Tel Aviv, reflecting the balance between official policy and public opinion.
With the outbreak of the war in Gaza in 2023, Morocco intensified its relief efforts, leveraging coordination with organizations like the Egyptian Red Crescent and UN agencies. In January 2025, the British government announced the awarding of a humanitarian medal to relief workers in Morocco, Libya, and Gaza, in recognition of international efforts in the region. Morocco also participated in collective initiatives, such as the global march to end the siege in June 2025, where Moroccan groups joined international campaigns to pressure for the lifting of the blockade on Rafah.
Chronology of Moroccan Aid to Besieged Gaza (2023-2025)
The following is a concise timeline of the most prominent stages of Moroccan humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip, based on official and international reports:
| Date | Description |
|---|---|
| October 2023 | Launch of public solidarity campaigns in Morocco, with initial aid including water, food, and medicine coordinated with the Egyptian Red Crescent. |
| November 2023 | Increase in aid flow during the temporary truce, as part of international efforts to alleviate the humanitarian crisis. |
| January 2025 | Surge in aid flow following the implementation of a ceasefire, with Morocco focusing on food supplies. |
| March 2025 | Suspension of some shipments due to Israeli restrictions, but Morocco continues diplomatic pressure to reopen access. |
| June 2025 | Moroccan participation in the global march to end the siege, with additional shipments sent to Rafah. |
| July 2025 | Third phase of the aid campaign: Delivery of supplies to 500 displaced families, supported by the Moroccan Association for the Reconstruction of Palestine, valued at up to 180 tons. |
| August 2025 | Arrival of additional flour shipments, enabling the reactivation of bakeries in southern Gaza, as in the aforementioned post, with emphasis on support without media propaganda. |
It should be noted that this chronology is not entirely comprehensive, as it relies on available reports, and may evolve with ongoing relief efforts.
In conclusion, Morocco’s aid stands out as an example of effective humanitarian support amid geopolitical challenges, with the “X” post highlighting the historical ties between the two peoples under the slogan “God, Homeland, King.” However, a comprehensive solution requires broader international coordination to end the siege and ensure sustainable aid flow.
