Morocco has expressed “great concern and deep indignation” over “the worsening of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip”, a foreign ministry statement has said.

According to AFP, it said Rabat regrets “the inaction” of the international community and the United Nations Security Council’s “failure to assume its responsibilities”.

The statement condemned what it called “the inability of influential countries to put an end to this catastrophic situation”.

Israel’s “acts of escalation are in contradiction with international humanitarian law and common human values”, it said.

Despite their 2020 rapprochement, Morocco regularly reaffirms its commitment to the Palestinian cause.
